Thread: One gun?

I suspect the extra recoil of a 270 or 30-06 would still be likely to intimidate a newby shooter. I'd go something in the 6.5x55/260/7mm08/308 range. Suppressed and not too light in weight.

if only u had a nice 7mm saum suppressed...

I thought to much gun?
This thing will get beaten, dropped and generally abused so was thinking more tikka/rem than sako.

I would have thought 30-06 a bit heavy on recoil for novices.

Na not really, I have a Kimber Montana in 30-06 and with an SSRNZ suppressor on its a pussy cat....

true maybe... be all good with suppressor tho a? or nah?

I have never fired one, just going by reputation

I think you just described a perfect situation for 7-08, tikka, dpt modular, limb saver optilocks and that vx3 you just sold.

30-06 is the way to go particularly should you get and Yank clients, they will love it.

Rex Forrester used 30-06s end of story.

Something like a Tikka T3 s/s in .270, .280 of 30-06 with a VX-3 4.5-14x40 LR and a quality suppressor. Recoil will be negligible with a suppressor and any of these have the legs and energy to achieve what you are wanting.

Heavy, but also safe and easy to see what state your client has the rifle in with its cocking system. Also something a little different and nicer for some of your clients to have a play with.

And a good excuse to get another one without looking like a giant hypocrite

Mate I've hunted with 3 different groups with blasers in the last 3 weeks.
None have impressed me at all to be honest
