    As for round, not too sure, thinking 6.5x55, no idea why though. In terms of brands, Remington, Tikka & Howa are the 3 that jump out the most at this stage (Though I read Remingtons can be real hit and miss in terms of getting a good one or not).
    Theres a 7-08 for sale on here.

    Mmmm.... Did I buy the wrong gun? Tikka 270 came highly recommended, what's with all the friction? Or, being a newbie, am I missing something here?

    There is just a lot of friendly rivalry going on between people who have preferences for different makes of rifle and different calibre's. We kiwis love to wind one another up about trivial stuff.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I'm a Tikka fan. But not so much of the new T3s. Pretty nasty :-/ but can't dispute accuracy and therefore, value. Older model 'Tikkakowski' rifles were beautiful and worthy of being called "poor man's Sako".

    Tikka 270's are for blokes who are to shy to wear their dress in public .

    Now Blaser's are a different story , if you want a manly firearm , think Blaser .

    Firstly i may just happen to like wearing dresses!

    &

    Secondly in terms of rifle ability you don't get much more out of a Blaser than you do a Tikka, they're both accurate, both well made, both easy to use.
    Sure Blasers are 'nicer' but are they multiple $1000 'nicer'!.... after handling one at the Sika Show i don't think so

    Besides to a new hunter a Blaser is WAAAAYYYYY out of thier price range... Tikkas aren't.
