[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1711999, member: 103919"] I would look closely at a tikka CTR. I have several friends that have them and they speak very highly of them. I had a Bergara 6mm barrel that I tried and couldn't get it to shoot. But my son's 6.5 Creedmoor Bergara BMP B-14 that we put in a KRG stock to lighten it up, shoots great .5MOA on average for 3 shot groups. So like any company I think it is hit or miss. If you want to change barrels, the coned bolt makes it a little more difficult that just going to a Remage system, but they supposedly have a very good barrel replacement program. When his barrel goes, I'm likely going to replace it with a PTG bolt and go to Remage barrels. I have an RPR. It shoots great with the 308 barrel or the 6.5x47 barrels I have also. It would be no worse for hunting than any other match gun. If you use a light scope, light foreend, and a CF barrel, it can get pretty reasonable, I saw one at a match set up like this that was surprising. [/QUOTE]
