Thread: $1600 what rifle would you buy?

they are ,and they come into the shoulder so well.

So a straight bush gun??????? 12 ga. You ain't gonna shoot jack past 30 yards if it's a real bushgun.

What's wrong with you people? Only reason I got a rifle for this stuff at all is cause the very odd shot at 50-80 metres comes up. In fact maybe I should 20 ga it this roar.
Anyone want a bet?

Yea shooting a shotgun on doc land good peice of advice.

Pain in the arse the 12g if you come out on open tops like we do so often and find deer.
And then theres the legality of it?

If you send it to TJ on F'nH it will come back looking better... I think he uses about 10-15 coats of Tru-Oil... Up to you of course but I like being given a reason to play with my guns

So long as it has a rifled barrel it's legal.

I reckon a Sako A7, beautiful gun and you'd pick one up new for about $1300

Get another Tikka T3 in a caliber that grabs your fancy

Buy my Sako A7

No. Had this argument before. A shot gun is a shotgun regardless of setup. Although the primer is in the center it doesnt make it a centerfire rifle which is all that is permitted to use on doc land. The fact you could hqve a birdshot load in your pocket and shoot native birds would be my guess at why doc will keep it this way.

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!

@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.
