We probably have enough opinions to fill a library here, but I'm over 80 years old and have been hunting most of my life. After owning several different brands, my out-of-the-box, reasonably priced accurate rifle would be the Tikka Lite T-3 in either a .270 or 30-06 calibre. I use the .270 for Deer or wild Boar and I use a .30-06 for Elk This may be my last year hunting, because of my knees, but I couldn't have found better all around Big Game rifles.
Who needs knees? Get a nice Mule or Gator and shoot 'em in comfort!
