Thanks pullit, 300-350 would be max. Michigan hunting over fields mostly.
With the above ranges being max...There are a metric ton of rifles that would fill that need.
7-08 or 6.5 CM would seem about the right temperature for the porridge. Easy to load for, if that’s important. Usually, good factory loads were once abundant, before Biden. YMMV.
Tikka SS would be my first look. Second Bergara
With the cash savings, put solid glass up top, and own the fields from first to last light.
