Alaskaman, if you bought highlife, can you save the code for me? Trying for 9000 points for the sweatshirt next. Thanks
To contribute a little...I bought a Savage for said purpose.

KH, I see from your post count that you are a "newbie", so grow a thick skin because as with most internet sites, some people on here act in ways they never would in a face to face conversation.
You might wish to look at:

Despite the photo, it is left handed.
As well as being out of the box very accurate, you can buy even better aftermarket barrels and install them yourself!

Good luck, put on your "Fritz" and flak vest.

Re: help rifle selection
ok maybe i wasnt very specific but im looking for a rifle in either above caliber and id really like to stay away from the 700 footprint i have dealt with the 700 platform and am not impressed. what are the major differences between the savage and tikka rifles and what is the quality difference or would the winchester stealth be a better choice

Re: help rifle selection
From what I've read, the Savage seems to be the best "out of box" accuracy. Savage is rather inexpensive which is nice. If you decide you want to go a different way, you aren't out a bunch of money.

Re: help rifle selection
The Savage also has the advantage of DIY Barrel swaps... Was very happy with the 10FP .308 20" I had....

Re: help rifle selection
what about building a rifle out of a howa barreled action? how much will that cost and will it be in any way better to a savage

Re: help rifle selection
KH, I wouldnt suggest a 300WM because your essentialy buying more power for shorter range...makes no sense right?
Why do you need 2 rifles capable of the same thing?
If you want something up-scale a bit, sell your Ruger and pick up a nice 700 or Templar/Surgeon/Stiller/B.O. build.

Re: help rifle selection
the problem with my ruger is that as i said before its highly modifed to the fact were it is mainly a target gun ie (really freakin heavy)it is a sub moa target rifle that fulfills it need well but i want something more portable that can be used for tactical purposes but moreover the occasional groundhog or larger game. and also the ruger with its wood stock makes it less durable then what i would really like to acquire. im just trying to decide on a platform
