Open-country Western hunting rifle for 600 yards and under. Steel to 800 yards. Mostly 140-150gr bullets out of a 24” .270 WSM.

No Nightforce, SWFA or other tactical-style scopes. Holdover reticles are OK. So are sensibly-sized turrets.

Budget is < $700.00 firm. What do you suggest? Why?


What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
