Guys, I currently don't own any bolt action rifle. And I have been thinking of getting one in the future. I can only afford one, a good one I assume. So what should I get?
I am not in the hunting game or long range shooting at the moment. But for the future, I might want a rifle that is able to do some of those activities.
I gathered some info online, people praised Winchester 70 pre 64, Remington 700 police or 5R, Steyr...
But I believe some of you have a lot more experience and would be able to point a direction for me.
Thanks!
I am going to assume that you exclude rimfires and small game here, and are looking for a medium to large game rifle. I would look out for a Husqvarna were I a careful man with money, a Brno model 21 if I cared about style and pride of ownership, a Brno ZG47 were I to want something I could have serious work done to in the future for use as a large game rifle.
And if Jorge says anything about Weatherby you can take it with a grain of salt as he just couldn't bring himself to go the whole hog and get a 270.
