Now which rifle?

Great, Thank you all for the info. Need to check these out.

I have a Browning AB3. It shoots very well but I don't recommend it for two reasons.. (1.) Browning barrels cannot be replaced without replacing entire action, and (2.) Browning refuses to provide parts list and schematic for my model like they do with their other models.

 

[Archer357]

That is good to know about Browning.
Thanks

Tikka 7mm 08 with a break it's a dream to shoot.accuacy is phenomenal

Why is it that someone brings up a very specific caliber and one that they are already set up for, then someone needs to change their mind. And it wasn't even for a Creedmore.

I'd take a look at the Remington 700's. Plenty of aftermarket parts available everywhere if you decide to upgrade at any time.

the Vangard in a synthetic stock in 7mm remington mag. a little more power same recoil ammo is everywhere and is priced very well, with the 160 gr. it will out shoot all the above. Also it will give you about 3200 ft lb energy.. it is a no brainer.. and the prices is right...

A very good choice indeed. I have one and its been the best fire-arm I've ever owned. Just watch the optics, as they normally make or break it.

I have a vanguard and a Tikka or 3, and 700s.
If I were you I would buy a Bergara Ridge B14 in .30-06.
Otherwise, Tikka first, 700 or Vanguard are a wash, Browning and Compass to follow.
If it's not a Creedmoor, you will have to aim it.

Good choice on the vanguard and absolutely nothing wrong with a 30-06.
My Son has a Vangaurd in 7mm and it shoots great. However, I also know that the tikas shoot great as well and are a good bit lighter physical weight if it is a riffle you will be packing it a lot.
Just something else to consider.

 

[Archer357]

Just when you think you know something else get thrown into the mix. Lol
Thanks everyone, I am going to do more research. I'm kind of a hands on guy. Like to see and touch before I buy.

Hi all,
Thought I had a new rifle selected. The Weatherby vanguard S2 stainless in 30-06. Looked around today and can not find one. What does everyone think my next choice should be in 30-06?
I reload my own ammo. I'm all set up for 30-06. Looking for a rifle for deer and elk hunting. Been searching this great forum can't seem to find a solution. Price range is up to $800.00
Thanks

Can't find an 06 in a vanguard? What's this world coming too? Just find a Howa 1500 it's the same gun. Tikkas seem pretty popular here I wanna say same price range too.

I want to thank everyone for their input. Thank You .
I ordered a Bergara B 14 ridge in 30-06. Found a great deal on TSS Warehouse. Got to try a friends B14.
