[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2383868, member: 118816"] Well he is pretty demanding and despite my recommendations here, one rifle fits all is pretty much a pipe dream. 1. I approve of the range limitations he has placed on this rifle for hunting. 2. Steel and paper are very possible with the rifle/scope that I am going to recommend. 3. Tikka T3x in 300 Win Mag with either a Vortex Diamondback Tactical or Viper 6 x 24 x 50 4. Tikka T3X 300 Win Mag with Muzzle Brake 5. .30 caliber hunting copper as well as target bullets are available from many manufacturers. For factory I use Federal Premium and Sig Sauer Elite in either 165 gr for deer and 180 gr for elk and moose. 6. See ammo comments above. 7. The Tikka T3X in 300 WM with a muzzle brake has about the recoil of a 243 to 308 depending on the brake. Mild enough that my Cousin who is only 5' 4" and 130 pounds can easily handle the recoil. All of the items listed above are readily available from Sheels or Cabelas. There are many other retailers but beware of online from unknowns. Both Sheels and Cabelas are known to have very competitive pricing on firearms and scopes. Staying within the $1500 price range should not be difficult. I use Barnes TSX 165gr in my 300WM which now shoots 3 shot groups at 0.4 to 0.6 MOA with ease. Good Luck!! :cool: [/QUOTE]
