[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1647105, member: 9308"] I'm in two camps here: Camp 1 - any excuse for a new gun! The 6mm Creedmoor seems to be the sexy, hot new thing and would be perfect for the game/distance you are mentioning. I like the 'old' .243 Win just fine, too, and there is a Rem 788 for sale in that caliber in the classifieds on here that would be just the ticket. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/remington-788.220883/#post-1642277[/URL] He's at $400 for a 'classic', accurate shooting gun. Not too heavy with light recoil. Something with an adjustable comb would seem 'good' under the circumstances, but you can always buy things to 'fix' a stock without an adjustment. A couple of examples: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F6C9GMY/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] or [URL]https://www.accu-riser.com/categories/Accu%252dRiser-Cheek-Pads-and-Comb-Raisers/[/URL] Camp 2 - You're hunting from BLINDS, so he won't be carrying the gun.
