Hello, My name is Abel, I live in Fort Worth, Texas and this is my first post.
I want to buy my firs bolt action centerfire rifle. The purpose of this rifle is both hunting and long range shooting. For now, my intention is get only 1 competent rifle that can fulfil both purposes, and have it for a while to learn and get the best of it. The caliber would be 308, because I already have other rifles in this caliber and also 300blk so the logistics work great. I am a reloader already.
I was reading this forum to do my homework before making my first intervention. Initially, I was thinking about the B14 HMR but I saw that most of you guys recommend the Tikka instead. I am flexible with the budget, but I do not want to pay for something and features that I am not going to use. My candidates were:
I would really appreciate your help to make a decision or at least narrow the list of options.
Thanks in advance.
