Thread: Explaining Brands

Throw up a wanted add on the buy and sell, see what pops up, theres a couple lads on here change rifles more than undies, so there is always something in the works. I picked up a practically brand new tikka with a serviceable nikon scope for $900.

I have owned a tikka, howa, savage, and a biakal. The tikka and savage shot best, but the tikka has a way better stock and was a step up in finish. That said the savage was still a laser. The howa still shot under 1 moa and was well finished also, but in a laminate stock was a heavy ol girl. The Biakal was poked and couldn't hit a barn door, but still accounted for a few hares and goats.

Of the cheap - middle range rifles I have used the tikka is the best balance of weight finish and accuracy, but you can still kill shit with a very basic rifle.
If I was doing it again, id just buy the tikka and skip the others

Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice managed to come across this 308 steyr pro hunter and Zeiss scope 2nd hand
Was only 1400 $

Now that is a damn good piece of 'beginners luck'.

great buy, bought my steyr 45 yrs ago still shoots better than me.

Pretty happy for my first time shooting the rifle and first time shooting targets was after an inch high at 100yrd pulled it Down slightly resulting in the bullseye but overall I'm stoked

Photo should rotate to the right if I knew how
