Hey new hunter here looking to pick up a scoped rifle. Think itll be 30-06 'cause I reload and it seems it can do everything.
If I wanted pure function for low $$ Id just get a tikka- but after hitting the store it seems souless. I kinda want this to be "my gun" and I plan on doing a good bit of target shooting with it and working on marksmanship alongside my .22. (cz 452 FS)
Im looking for:
Accurate enough to enjoy at the range, sub MOA would be good.
Not too light- ultralights are gonna hurt to shoot at the range regularly.
Decent wood stock(for the price point) or a nice moulded synthetic
smaller barrel is better
mount a scope nicely, backup irons would be a bonus
Looking at
Winchester model 70 sporter-classic
Sako a7-modern
CZ 550 FS or american in wood- classic - has sights and dovetail mount
browning x bolt in wood- mix
as always appreciate yalls experienced opinions
