[QUOTE="Good, post: 479714, member: 18866"] I second liltank's suggestions. I think for the money, the 300 Win Mag is hard to beat for your situation. It will kill big stuff way out there, but won't necessarily break the bank on ammo and the ammo is readily available. I also think the Savage is the way to go. If you compare what you get in the Savage vs the other companies, the Savage is the best bang for the buck. There is only one caliber that I would pick a Remmy over a Savage and that's the factory 338 Lapua Magnums. (will kill WAY out, but ammo is EXPENSIVE!!!) Some specifics that benefit Savage are the floating bolt head which lends to accuracy, layman changeable bolt head, Accutrigger, the ability to change barrels yourself if you like to tinker in that fashion... Plus, I like the look of the barrel nut. If you throw a picatinny rail on the gun, the nut adds a "tacticool" look and matches the barrel well if your barrel is fluted. I like it, but some don't. On that note, my brother in law just purchased a 112 BVSS in 300 Win Mag for a good price. The only problem with this gun is it is 10lbs without scope! But, that makes for a more stable platform. PM me for location if you're interested and you can talk to the dealer yourself. He can also get you any of those listed by tank I'm pretty sure. The only problem with the 111s and 116s is they have the "heavy" Accutrigger. There is the target accutrigger from like 6 oz-6lbs or something like that, the varmint from 1.5-6lbs and the hunting from 2.5-6lbs. But, even at 2.5lbs, that should be good for a hunting rig. Most of my triggers are set to around 3lbs. I have a Remington set a little lower, and a Winchester a little higher, but I wish both were the varmint Accutrigger that the 112 has. [/QUOTE]
