Thread: Light Varmint/Target Rifle ideas

Gidday Guys

By dint of hard work and analysis I've identified a "gap" in the choices available in my rifle racks.

I need a rifle that is accurate enough to be competitive in the likes of informal target matches/gong shoots - but it must be a calibre able to cope with a bit of wind. Needs to be stocked accordingly.

It needs to be light enough to carry all evening looking for hares and the like, and also have enough punch to drop a deer if one surfaces offering a nice considered shot.

Gotta be a bolt action repeater. Could be factory or assembled from parts - but my pockets don't run deep enough for custom actions etc

Thoughts and suggestions??
