Hunting Ammo For Handguns
.308 Bolt-action recommendations?
Hey there. I’m not new to shooting, but most of my experience involves AR’s and handguns since I am former military. I’m looking for an entry-level bolt rifle, mostly for target use but which could also take a deer if I decide to start hunting. I’d prefer to spend $600-700 so that I have some cash left for good optics. I’m leaning toward .308 because ammo prices and recoil are reasonable. I try to avoid “exotic” rounds in my firearms.
I was originally leaning toward the Remington 700, but today I was reading up on the Tikka rifles and they seem to be getting pretty amazing reviews. I also like the Ruger compact series. It’s a bit above my price range but if I decide it’s the superior choice, I just might spring for it.
Any tips are appreciated. I’d prefer comments from folks who actually own a rifle of the sort I described, not someone like me who’s just read a bunch of reviews. Thanks in advance!
Well, I love the remington 700 series, you should be able to find a model for any application you plan on using the rifle for, though I have always been a sucker for the classic bdl and cdl. This would be my first choice.
Tikkas are also great guns, though they are a bit lighter than the remingtons, this is great if you want to shave a little weight off of your hunting load. but if this is going to be a paper puncher and a mostly range gun, then it will take a slightly greater toll on your shoulder.
Savages are amazing, sub moa right out of the box. The accutrigger not only shoots amazing, it prevents the trigger from being accidently pressed if it is dropped while chambered. Look into the 110 series. They are also very cheap considering what you are getting.
