I was talking with a buddy today who is in the market for a new rifle in somethi by from 270-7mm RM. He wants wood and blued and wants to keep it under $600 for the bare rifle. My first thought was to buy used since that's what I do most of the time so I didn't know what to suggest.
What do you guys think? Ruger Hawkeye, Vanguard S2, Tikka, 700? I haven't bought a new rifle other than budget rifles in years so my pricing on them is way off.
