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!
...............................Good question and you get many answers. May I suggest a different approach. Since you only seek one rifle, then get that one rifle that is the most perfect for you, which will best fill YOUR needs and a rifle that best fills the priorities that you are looking for in a rifle.
First. Pick a cartridge or make a short list of cartridges that will best suit your needs.....Second. What preferences are you looking for in a rifle? CRF action or push fed? 3 position safety or 2 position push type? Degree of bolt lift? Detachable box magazine or spring type? Straight stock or Monte Carlo style? Traditional wood or other stock material? Stainless or blued barrel? Barrel length? Low price point? High price point? What priorities are most important?............Opinions from others is all well and good. Which rifle you get should depend on what rifle is the most perfect for you.....................PRIORITIZ'N
