no budget counts out savage , Mossberg ect.
You cant go past a Howa , Browning A- bolt or Weatherby mark5 .

So a Savage is too cheap and a Tikka is too ugly but you're suggesting a Howa? Funniest thing I've heard all day!

Good banter regardless

One of the most important factors for me when looking at rifles is the trigger, every rifle you shoulder you should give it a dry fire while trying to hold aim on something safe.

Calibre wise I think you can't go wrong with the .308. Plenty of punch, plenty of range, plenty available at a good price. Sure lots of other calibres are better in different areas but the .308 is just an awesome all rounder.
