[QUOTE="TORCHRIDER, post: 1019589, member: 27434"] OK, this is not necessarily a long range hunting rig question, but I wanted to ask it here as I think you guys have the smarts to help me out. And I know you all have opinions. :D Here is my question: I want to purchase or build a general purpose all-around hunting rifle for under $1k to use for: - Hunting everything under the Sun in Texas. This means everything from Whitetail deer to Mule deer to Pronghorns to Hogs to Black Buck to Coyotes to Alligators. - I want a gun that is light enough to walk with but not so light the recoil is severe. - I want a round that has easily obtainable ammo. - I want a round that is fairly flat shooting for max. shots out to 400 yards. - I want a gun that I wont cry over after it gets its first ding. - I want a gun that wont rust overnight if I throw it in the back seat or tent after a hunt. I am anxious to hear what you think. I am looking for recommendations on brand, model, caliber, barrel length and twist, construction, etc. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
