Yeah i wanted a 6.5 before i got the 770, do you think i could find a second hand one worth the effort NO but as soon as i get a 770 they pop up everywhere.
I have to say the 6.5 might just be the go, ive had a CG before and loved it aye acurate as and no kick.
Pretty good reloading round too i believe.
I love mine. CG too and accurate. Waiting on dies atm. Its dropped every deer I have shot with it
I think you could get an A& for that money. I would probably buy a Winchester or Browning. Or a Ruger Hawkeye in 257 Roberts...
Winny extreme weather 1599 at h+f
Only one that has a real stock control feed fluted barrel awsome trigger

Yeah im gonna have to look at 1 CD problem is Lyndsey doesnt stock Winnys so will have to go to Invers.
I think it would be a good comparison between the browning and winy,owning a winy im gonna say winy of course but for your price range youve chosen the two top contenders.................tikka are also good but ive met a few people trading there tikka's for one of the other two!.Whatever one you get good luck and happy hunting.
Just finished bedding and Stiffening an A7 Dean dam thing was spraying but shoots an inch now with some unknown hand load, there a nice gun but i think i may struggle to get one a the price i can pay. Never know though.
you might be surprised im sure they go just over 1600 bare!
Might have to see Lyndsey and see if he can get a A7 and a Winny in for me to compare.
let us know what you think im sure you will
Yeah I would get a Winchester over the Sako I think. Nice actions and the wood is pretty nice too, if you went that way...
Tough one. Wood vs Weight vs Recoil, im a Joiner and love wooden stocks especially on nice rifles but thats more to carry and i hate it when i dent it.
If you're a joiner, then you can re-touch it when it dents:) The Winchester featherweights are surprisingly light and very pointy.
They never come back out like new though. I had a Feather weight a number of years ago in .243 it was a good shooter once i ironed out the issues with it.
Get a Winchester mate, nice stocks and action, fluted barrel, light to carry etc. And a calibre that's soft enough for your boys to start shooting with and you to pass down...it won't be long before they're ready to tag along! Plus the hunting we do down here and as a general carry everyday hunting rifle I don't believe you would need a 'big' calibre. Thats what the wsms for right? You can never have enough excuses to buy another rifle tho eh...
