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!
Winchester model 70 in 7mm Mag, stainless/synthetic will do it all now and anything else you have planned for future hunts, 160 gr Accubonds or 175 gr Partitions will cover all bases nicely.
Myself, I'd take the same gun in 375 H&H mag, 270 gr TSX's, 300 gr Accubonds, along with a good 300 gr BBW #13 solid load, those will handle small deer up to and including all game in Africa or anywhere else in the world.
