Thread: Looking for a good all around rifle

Thats because they are good quality rifles and a good caliber suitable for a wide variety of tasks...

Why would a new hunter want a 30 year old half worn out rifle in a calibre that is not ideal for the task at hand?

STC that is not good advice and that is what the man asked for--half worn out well there are hundreds of second hand available - have not seen gun racks in shops full up like right now - or the variety on here and trade me - and many with less than 200 rounds thru them - even say a Remington 700 from 1985 with 1000 rounds is hardly worn out - ideal - well 308 7x57 270 25-06 30-06 6.5x55 7mm-08 280 etc etc etc are all ideal for what he wants and ammo available - I dont dislike modern Tikka or 6.5 Creed more but they are not the ideal they are made out to be - rather they are sufficient for the task
