[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1990289, member: 53978"] With the price, you may be talking Ruger American or maybe a special from CDNNSports. Our family has recently made two similar choices, although we let the prices rise to $800 for a bare rifle. We do like light, easy carrying rifles. Caliber? I'm glad you asked. My wife's LH Tikka is primarily a deer rifle: 270 Win. Factory 130gn or handloaded 110TTSX and 117HH make it a "poor man's magnum." Attached are recent two-shot confirmations of scope zero. BOTH are two shot. [ATTACH type="full" alt="pic 270 118HH strl 17-9-20.jpg"]216876[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="pic 270 118HH H4350 57p5 09-9-20.jpeg"]216873[/ATTACH] The rifle for the grandkids went a different route, though. It may be used in Africa so we went with Kimber Hunter 308Win. It shoots 130gnTTSX into tiny little groups at 3125fps. So it is functionally almost equal to my wife's 270 for deer-sized game. Why the Kimber? Because it uses a 10" twist but the Tikka uses 11" twists. Yes, the Kimber shoots, too: (again, two shots. They do nice 3 shot groups but the thin little barrels really shine on the first two shots.) [ATTACH type="full"]216874[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
