Hello everybody...
Im in the market for a new rifle, this will be my first low caliber rifle ( i currently own the following: xbolt ss 7mm rem mag , toka t3 varmint chambared on 300 win mag, xbolt 270,sako a7 7mm-08) the main purpose will be to hunt varmints up to and including coyotes. The main criteria is to minimize recoil as much as possible in order to be able to see hit or misses and also im looking for something very (extremelly accurate). After doing lots of reading i came to conclusion that i also want a rifle with a heavy barrel (to compliment the main criteria). Budget is set for $2500 max w/o optics and accessories. Im leaning towards a 22-250 as its very available in mt area but im slowly getting into reloading so im open to suggestions. To this extent i have only come across 2 rifles to caught me attention
1) sako 85 varmint.weight 8.625 lbs
2) savage model 12 bvss. Weight 10 lb
Any other suggestions? Opinions?
Thanks alot in advance guys
