[QUOTE="55stone, post: 2671511, member: 107643"] The wife has taken over my tikka 6.5 CM for whitetail hunting. I’m looking at buying a new deer sized game and under rifle, possible just another 6.5. I’m debating branching out and getting a browning xbolt or possibly trying a Bergara. I hunted with my R700 7 rem mag this year and I just don’t love the rifle and really don’t need it for white tail sized game.. I love accurate rifles(who doesn’t lol) and do a lot of hand loading.. the tikka is a 1/2 MOA gun even with me shooting it.. So I’m torn between getting another Tikka of some sort and probably putting a KRG bravo on it or do I give a xbolt or bergara a try. I haven’t ever shot a bergara,I have messed with a xbolt in .308 that we got shooting some hand loads pretty good and took it out to 600 yards.. this will mostly be a hunting rifle with a decent amount of practice every year. I do like the idea of all the upgrade/ changes you can do for the tikka down the road, the bergara being R700 foot print is probably sim. The browning seems to be a great off the shelf hunting rifle. Anyone with a bergara how are you liking it? Any accuracy issues? X bolt seems to be mostly positive a few “won’t shoot under 2” groups” comments. Tikka seems to mostly be complaints about the factory stock and ergo’s and hardly ever a complaint about the action/accuracy.. which I totally understand owning one.. all 3 are roughy same price depending on model. $900-$1200 so price isn’t really a factor.. sorry for the lengthy post..
