Thread: What rifle to buy?

Sometimes different is good, they will all kill deer! I like to mix things up from time to time. As mentioned it's hard to go past Tikka, especially with the options to customise etc.

Mate just bought a Sako A7 in 7 mag, it is a tack driver, even with factory ammo. I really liked the feel of the stock, especially when your hands are cold and slippery.

Another mates got a browning hells canyon, again noice rifle but I havent had a chance to see it perform.

I love my Brownings (have 4), but out of the two I'd go the Sako.

You are a woody aren’t you ?

Have you looked at the magazine length in each of them ?
If other things were equal you could get better performance reloading to a longer COAL. Heavier bullet, more powder, perhaps closer to the lands.

Sorry could have worded that better: "woodsman".
I know you like those classic wood and blue rifles.

yes. I'd love to own it. Drooled over it again this morning. Around $2700 I think. Good deal.Got nice wood on it too!

The Bavarian's are very nice. I picked one up in 375h&h the other week. The set trigger will spoil you.

I have one in 308win. Set trigger is really nice. Tack driver.

Light is not always best when it combs to magnums , iv got a hells cannon its pretty good , not a huge fan of the short stocks / trigger but I put a light spring in that helped trigger pull a lot .

Hey does anyone have any experience with the Bergara B14 hunters? Picked one up in H&F and It felt nice. Quite well priced as well
