Thread: Hunting rifle

Tikka has one advantage:

the 308 and 22lr come essentially in the same action and stock. Get the same scope for both and voila you have a great practice rifle that you will likely be able to take to many smallbore ranges, to practice (itll also be great for rabbits and possums), that handles very similarily.

Getting enough practice with a centrefire is just not realistic anymore with the cost of factory ammo AND reloading components

I have this - both in .308 & .22 for this reason. Great little shooter the .22, knocking over bunnies out to 120 without much trouble and the familiarity aspect is
