Folks,
Opening up a can of worms - so beware.
I have several different rifles and don't need another one - but where is the fun in that? Currently have a CZ 527-223, semi custom built on a Rem 700 action in 257 Roberts (and a host of rimfires). Wanting something bigger...but it doesn't have to be a elephant killer.
Leaning towards a Tikka for my next rifle, but am open to conversations on other brands.
I have always wanted a 6.5x55. But, I know that a 270/270wsm, 7mag, 300wm/300wsm will do everything I'd ever ask of it. This rifle will be my I don't know what I'll encounter in Texas and at what yardage. I typically won't shoot at a critter past about 250 yards, which is leaning me towards the 6.5x55.
But would enjoy a rifle for an elk trip that will probably never happen...but, if that trip happens, it would give me an excuse for yet another rifle.
If I decide to go semi-custom again, I'd lean towards a 280/280ai, but I'd rather have the extra money to get some good glass.
