Hi everybody.
I will buy a new rifle and I would like your recommendations to choose the caliber. I am almost sure the rifle will be a Tikka T3 lite or a Tikka T3 Varmint. I will use it for target shooting and for hunting, so I need a good balance between roud price, precision, recoil and stopping power. I need a cartridge capable of:
1) Target shooting at least 1000-1100 yards.
2) Kill deer at least 800 yards away.
3) Enough stopping power to stop a angry hog at 200 yard.
The candidates are 308 win, .270 win, 6.5x55 and 6.5 creedmoor. I must say in my country the last one is almost 50% more expensive than the other ones. ¿Which is the best for that?
