[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2141730, member: 1951"] Not sure, but I think this viewpoint hasn’t been covered. If your buddy wants to drop a few buck on an accurate hunting rifle, something like the Ruger American or Savage 110 will generally produce good enough groups. I would be thinking 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC, 270 Win, 280 AI, 300 PRC.... Now, if he wants the best rifle to shoot now and build on later, the Tikka is a solid answer. Actions are gtg, but stocks are meh... If he is thinking CRF, the Ruger Hawkeye or Win 70 would be ideal. At $1200, I think he can get a Winchester 70 all weather in a Bell&Carlson stock. Nice rifle. ....or, a Tikka T3 and put a Bell&Carlson stock on it. $800 for the rifle, $300 or so for the stock. They even have custom lop available for a couple bucks more.
