Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTB High-end hunting rifle

A good friend is looking for a new hunting rifle. He has been hunting with his elderly father's pre-64 30-06 and wants a 2nd hunting rifle. He will be hunting deer and mostly elk and does not reload. He likes nice stuff, looking for something $2000-$3500. Wood or synthetic is fine. Not looking for a LR rig, standard sporter barrel please. Since he doesn't reload and will be hunting elk, something like a 270, 308, 280, 30-06??? Probably nothing with more recoil than a 30-06.

Thanks.

If that is his budget, I would go get another nice Winchester pre-64 Model 70.

If that brand and model works, why fix it?

That is a heck of a budget.

A nice BAR comes to mind... with a Kahles 2.5-10 on top.

I sold this one NIB/unfired a while back at $1500

Great builder, check out their APR Maverick Long and Short action rifles. Hard to beat for 1775 dollars. Leaves him some room for some quality glass! Good Luck with his search, Elk
