    Think its settled then, Tikka T3 6.5x55/260, dpt can, Leupold VX3 or VX6, limbsaver and possibly different stock.

    I have a Tikka T3 in 260 I may consider selling if that's what you decide you want.

    Finally some logic and somebody not trying to flog off a popgun that six months ago was the duck nuts.

    an accurate 280 or 7x64 (something a little different to impress the US visitors) would be my pick given the ranges you're talking. 7mm projectiles offer the right balance in knockdown vs recoil imho.

    The last thing you need is to be bashing around with a client in the scrub looking for an animal wounded with a pop gun....not a good look.
    Look at Josh James's latest video, a guy took a shot at his first deer, all they found was a fragment of leg bone and a knee-cap, they joke
    d about a three legged deer running around the bush.....that ain't flash.....you may have a female client.....that would go down like a cup of cold sick with the ladies.
    I'm sure Brian Elworth ( The Sika Man ) lent his clients a 30 cal magnum of sorts with a can on it.

    I like Josh James vids.....but seems to make a mess of a lot of his shots?

    I'd choose something of decent size and weight too.
    If you havnt thought about it, (as seen on tv) it looks like a good idea to take a client to the range first. Get them used to the rifle and you know there shooting fairly straight. If I was a paying client I would enjoy the little practice.

    Thinking about this, I guess it depends on what sort of experience you are selling. If its a rustic hunting experience, I would still go for a suppressed 30-06. If its a sophisticated hunting and shooting experience, then I guess something flasher will fit the bill. Although I'm guessing that if its someone who's into shooting, they will likely have their own rifle.

    It would be awesome to get a life-size steel deer made up as well. It and the rifle will be tax deductible too!
    A guide not asking for cash would be a rare object.

    Reckon you d find it easier to go unicorn hunting !!

    And why not .We re over taxed to feed enough bludgers as it is .....

    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.
    Love my Blaser, but would never recommend it as a loaner to an inexperienced shooter.
    It just needs to be something 6.5 to 308ish in a rifle that will be treated like shit but not look cheap.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
