Thread: what would you get for ....

Hi guys

Thinking about getting a rifle and I know we talk about this over and over again in forums. I have done a search,(if it's not in the search engine within certain pages I will stop ).

What would you get in a 308 or a 708 rifle,stainless or some thing that would with stand the NZ weather under $3,000 and without the scope, (will buy scope once got rifle).

I am looking into hunting on the tops or bush and the rifle would have to be a magazine, not auto.


I ask this as all I see is T3,sako,remington...... Sako ???


Thank you


Toby

Have to hand that to you. Also gives an upper price limit.

Toby you are addicted (which is not a bad thing). Calculate the number of firearms you will have when you are 65 by dividing the number of rifles you have now by your age and then multiplying the answer by 65. Once you have the answer then ask yourself "where will I put them all"?

Sounds like you will be covering a bit of ground if your into hunting the tops as well. I would say either a sako finnlight or tikka t3 in 708. There are options in between such as the A7 but I dont see the differences as being enough to warrant the variations in prices. I have a 19" tikka which shoots 162gr amaxes into half inch at 2600fps from magazine length which makes a very handy lightweight setup suitable for anything from 0 to around 600yard (what i consider extreme range for this setup) The sako would most likely offer better mag length and certainly has very nice features

not my preferred retailer to deal with but gives an idea of new price, you could get one second hand for cheaper but not sure if your wanting new or second hand

Id be seriously looking at the Sako finnlight or possibly a Kimber

Since you're not quite into basic and unscoped used Blaser R93 territory for that price, and the trouble would be finding someone parting with one, I'd go with a lightweight Sako, in 7mm08.
