Tikka is the easy choice.
6.5 over 308 is also easy choice when it comes to recoil.
I imagine you don’t shoot long distance in Georgia. But I really like 76239 out of bolt action. Cheap ammo, 3030 ballistics and can be moa shooter. I think howa still makes some rifles.


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
