Want to buy a rifle..

^^ sure is! I have a Remington 700 sps. I'm gona twist up some bullets here pretty soon, should be getting around 3300 fps with triple shocks.

I'd confidently rip through a Canadian moose with this little sniper. And talk about a nice flat shot!

I am into my gun and a beautiful Nikon 3x9 scope, and sling for under a grand.

 

Forgot to throw this into the original post, I have a tight budget. I can't drop 800 on a nice setup rifle, I am looking for a cheaper gun to start with.

I'm hoping to hunt deer and elk in the fall, as well as coyote and maybe even bear. I have a cabin in the mountains and its prime hunting ground for everything. I already have a shotgun for turkey and different birds.

 

Check out the Savages. My son shoots a 7mm-08 an I paid under $400 brand new for it. Real nice piece for the price.

 

check out this.. remington 700 with 3-9x40 scope combo for $470, thats a steal!

I'd definitely consider the .270

how much are you wanting to spend I just picked up a marlin xl7 in 30-06, and i shoots great very smooth action and a nice adjustable trigger with the same setup as savages accu trigger. I paid about 330, and did alot of research for the best rifle i could find for under 400 and it came between that or the stevens 200.

 

I have a remi 700 SPS Varmint .308 with bipod and 32x illuminated reticle scope...synthetic stock...26" heavy barrel...love it...not wone I'd like to haul on a real long walk in cause it's got some lbs...but it definately extends the KZ around the casa... ;-)

 

with pic...

 

damnnnn I need more money

 

What ever you buy remember quality optics. You get what you pay for.....

 

I am going to give the the holy grail setup...

Tikka t3 lite .300 win mag with leupold vx3 scope I have been using it for 4 years and taken 6 bucks with it and will never go away from it

 

I don't think he needs a 300 win mag, most people don't need a gun that big imo.

 

Nice gun!!!!!! I shoot 7mm rem mag. Leupold vx3 4.5x14 bc. 160gr. accubonds. I have to say accubonds make a difference, they put animals down..........

 

What do you plan to hunt, also take a walk through the ammo section of your local gun shop. Ammo prices are a consideration if you do a lot of shooting. I love my .270, it will knock down a deer and ammo isnt too bad although I can put a lot more ammo through my .22 for a Hell of a lot less

 

^^ Ummm no. Not the holy grail...


Anyways OP look at Savages they are the best bargin for accuracy and funcatiality especially on a budget. As for a .308 vrs 30-06 thats a personal choice I have a 30-06 and it has always worked for me but the .308 will work on just about anything as well. Look at ammo prices before you buy.

 

Thats a shame hate to hear that. Good luck selling the 243. I would be interested however I am a lefty.

 

Dang! That is a good size hole in that yote!

 

I picked up a Savage model 111 in 30-06 last year for $350 and love it. Came with a cheap scope (gets the job done tho) but plan on upgrading this season.

 

that's also a death wish on the shoulder. my brother has that exact set up, it kicks way too hard to comfortably shoot. an ultralight gun in a big caliber is asking for a flinch.

 

Being "New" to the rifle world-A setup like this would be good and not break the bank!

a 270 or 30-06 will do just fine. 300's are great but are not for going to the range to just target shoot. Everyone that owns a 300 that I know of shoots it just enough to sight it in.
