Good Morning Gentleman, wondering if I could get some advice on a new Gun- Scope set up.
Here is the story, I am from Michigan and not much of a gun hunter just would rather bow hunt, that being said I enjoy shooting rifles when I get the chance as well as hunt out west in Montana when the opportunity arises.
I possess several different rifles and calibers but my go to hunting rifle has always been my Weatherby sub-moa 257.
For whatever reason I feel the need to buy a new rifle in this 6.5 caliber to hone my skills at longer distances.
In Michigan when I do rifle hunt I may get a 70-100 yd shot but have shot out to 300 in Montana (chip shot for most of you I know) but that's far to this Bow hunter.
The dillema is this, I don't want a true sniper rifle because I do want to grab and go if needed. I just want a med weight rifle with a nice scope with the ability to dope up to 500 for fun and just practice.
As it stands I love my savage model 10 Predator(shoots lights out) but just don't want the same gun and want a better fit and finish.
Browning x-bolt is nice but hate their stocks so I would have to factor in a new one.
My peaked interest is in a Sako A7 either standard or long range Model, thoughts?
I have no idea on what scope, always been a Leopold fan but again Im out of tune with whats out there but Im assuming on spending 600-1200 on glass.
I am not afraid to buy used if its nice as has the box so open to any ideas from you guys.
Any help is appreciated and sorry for being long winded.
