If you are being sensible, a 6mm or 6.5 Creedmoor Howa in a KRG Bravo is going to be unbeatable for the price.

Maybe ramp up to a secondhand Remington Sendero in 7mmRM or 300WM/300WSM but spending anything more is going to be a waste of time and money which should have been spent pulling the trigger and sending lead and copper downrange.

Spare no expense on optics and rings/bases though.

I meant no disrespect to any Howa owners what so ever and I thank you for your suggestions.

It seem to be suggestions to start somewhere between a .2XX and up to the 7mm or even the 300. ZQ
Lewis did point out recoil to which in all honesty I didn’t really consider as I was focusing on something new and shinny, but I’d better see if I can manage the recoil of my 308 first. It does have a limb saver airtech recoil pad on it as long as a supressor so I’m hoping I’m still good.

I’ll definnately spend some coin on quality rings and optics. I want something that can stand up to some abuse if needed, so leaning towards a nighforce, SHV/NSX or Leupold vx5, or even a razor HD. But that will come slightly after purchasing the rifle, so I’ll read more before. Plenty of discussions on this forum on optic choices

Thanks Caberslash for taking the time to reply.
