I hunted with is last year but ended up shooting my deer with a buddies .223 AR loaded with 55gr Barnes. Rifle has a brake, recoil is mild IMO. I'm planning to retire it in the next couple if years and build a custom, but until then it's going to be with me in the woods. Or, do I just buy a Tikka or RAR in 30-06 smile


A Tikka or RA in 7mm-08 is probably all you need. I have one of each, comparable accuracy using the same load. I've killed a truckload of deer, one antelope, and a 4x4 bull with the Tikka.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.
