Im contemplating the exact same thing, it will be a .308 (unless convinced otherwise) but apart from that $1600 (ish) seems enough to spend. I like the look of a T3, sako A7, or a CZ...I'd want it in stainless & bolt action. Also pondering an older Sako in good nick. Reading up on Howa though they seem a good buy....so many choices!
:drool:
regards
@Bavarian_Hunter $1300? best Ive seen is gunsh**y at $1599
If I could get a brand new 308 A7 at $1300 I think they'd have a sale.
The a7 has a just as plastic shitty stock as the tikka the winny has a b+c composite. Along with the other advantages i wouldnt want to spend 1600 bucks on a rifle the have to drop another 5-900 or more for a decent stock.

Many choices indeed and as you can see youll never get a straight pick on here!!!:pissed off:so make up your mind in secret then buy it then post it in new toys and everyone will tell you "great rifle mate you picked well":thumbsup:
I'd go 260 over the 6.5x55 cos I prefer short actions :PQuote:

Not sure if these are available in NZ but I got to lay me hands on one in a store the other day.
Now trying to talk myself out of buying yet another rifle !
I have a couple of Sako A7's SS - on sale over here for $750 - but with a McMillan stock for $550 that is starting to add up - and you still are stuck with the A7 synthetic trigger guard and magazine.
The Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS looks to be a complete package right out of the box.
:D Well now that you mention it... :thumbsup:Quote:

Get this, a boyds stock, timney trigger (although the trigger on my new howa is almost as good as my timney), go to town on it!
Or you could get the Howa and just shoot it.....
The Remington Mountain Rifles look ok too.
For a Remington...Quote:

great simple packages, designed off an early sako. did i mention they are under a grand?
Yep i loved my howa in 243 and it shoot little bug holes, still if i could afford the winchester id buy that over a howa any day . I do wonder though how mu h meat could be millednout of the howa action to lose some weight becasue even the light weight ones are heavy

whip out the angle grinder and let us know how you get on
Its between an X-Bolt and a Titan 6 at the moment, yet to have a look at a Extreme weather and the Mountain Rifle was horrible.
Have you decided on caliber?
Well it is in 7-08 which i would be happy with
would you consider a .243?

Watch those titans the alloy recievers ding up and look like shit in no time

The Titan's have Alloy receivers which apparently mark easily.
Toby they are gross.
Titan's are trashy as hell.
Jeez 3 comments like that in as many minutes, i may have a re think.
Not sure about the Howa action (and slightly off topic), but for comparison have a look at how much Savage took out of their action getting the Lightweight Hunter down to 5.5lb from the 6.5-7 of the regular models. Shows what can be done with the right skills and gear.Quote:

I had a Walnut titan 6 for 5-6 years. Kept it a lot longer than the 85 finnlight and the t3 I had . Didnt hear anything bad from the 3-4 guys I know that actually owned one either. I didnt like the plastic stock but wood is always my preference.

That looks like a much nicer rifle than what we had here sneeze, must be different grades? The standard model with timber stock we had was rough at best.
Yes there are 3 grades standard, luxus (the one i had ) and exclusive. But its only the wood that changes. All barrels are top grade from heym and merkel. Aside from the cooper I have it was the most accurate factory rifle Iv tried. Still have a little sellers remorse. Iv heard about the dinged reciever thing from inserting the bolt but I didnt see it. But then I dont try and throw the bolt in like a dart :DI

dont go near a titan they are fuckin shyte worst rifle ever made
And why is that ?Quote:

Ive seen one in action and by the end of the day i felt sorry for the owner and alot of other guys have had real dramas with them so until ive seen one that works im not convinced.Whats the 770 got to do with it?
The 770 was a comparasion, obviously.
I think Roessler may be a little concerned about your review.
couldnt care less.
Really? ........Crap. I thought I had it right after years of owning one. Always learning I guessQuote:

So, you've seen alot of them, or just one.
what seems to be the problem, from your observation of course.
