I've let my buddy talk me into an antelope hunt this fall. Don't really have a correct rifle for such things so it seems like a fine reason to get a new to me one.
I think I've narrowed it down to .257 Weatherby, 25-06 or 240 Weatherby. If anyone has any suggestions in the low recoil, blistering high speed, small projectile category, I would appreciate suggestions. I am not considering Savage rifles even though I know they shoot great.
I have access to reloading gear and friends that will help if I need it but I'm not interested in any wildcat calibers that I can't get factory ammo for.
I have been trying to buy a Howa 1500 for three days but the dealer keeps dragging his feet about taking my money so... Anyone have a budget rifle or rifle/scope combo?
