[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2000367, member: 105681"] Another vote for Tikka T3. Most accurate out of the box rifle I've seen lately. I bought one 9 years ago for $599.99 in 270 wsm. I shoot a lot so burned the barrel out on year 7. It was a tack driver and killed a ton of deer and elk with oem setup. After 9 years I rebarreled it in 270 wsm again but with an 1:8 twist barrel. I added a Manners Elite stock, switched out the trigger springs to a smooth 2.5 lb trigger pull and fluted the bolt and added a new handle. This cost me $1600. So I have $2200 bucks into an eleven year old rifle. It's the best all around big game rifle I own. It will shoot 170 grain Berger under .5 moa out to 1300 yds. Flat shooter! At 3000 fps it hits hard and flies straight. That bullet has a BC of .665 and she doesn't blow off course with wind. Really happy with the original Tikka, but absolutely love my semi custom rebuilt Tikka even more. Good luck! Shot this goat facing me at 464 yds right in the throat chest area. Right where I aimed, never a doubt in my mind. [/QUOTE]
