Lefthanded bolt gun on a budget? + added scope question!
Lefthanded bolt gun on a budget
My criterias
1. Obviously lefthanded bolt action avaible
2. calibre 308
3. irons sights standard
4. Light and somewhat short
5. Smooth and fast action
6. preferably synthetic stock
I am not after a long range gun really but mostly a pig gun.
So far I have only felt up the TIKKA t3 lite, but it is on the expensive side and the browning x-bolt which felt very sluggish
How does the rem700 stack up? better then the browning but as good as the tikka?
Savage?
Howa?
Ruger hawkeye or variants?
the ruger scout seems to be what I need/want but seems like the lefthanded export version (regular is too short for our laws) isn't exported ):
really like the idea of scout mounted scopes in general, how much work would this require on other rifles that aren't the ruger?
How much would semiauto ejecting bother me? because I can find some used ones available at decent prices, downside is that garands, m14 etc etc are out of the question because they are military rifles
Oh I need a .22 to for plinking probably get a semi-auto but i'd really like a lefthanded bolt .22 to
edit re scout scope mount
would a BSA Edge Pistol Scope 2-7x 28mm Duplex Reticle Matte work?

i am thinking about doing a budget savage axis scout?
what does paralex set for 50 yards mean? this is to be my prime hog gun, short distance in the thick
how would I mount it? what type of rings and whatnot would I use?
