Thread: $1600 what rifle would you buy?

Coming into some spending money soon so want to get a new rifle for the bush.
Thinking x bolt, winchester or remington i am hoping for a bit more than $1600 but thats an wait and see deal.
What else is worth considering for that money, i have a Remmy 700sps in .300wsm which is a great shooter and very accurate and a tikka 22-243 and for shits i even brought a remington 770 second hand to chuck around the bush which is accurate after a bedding job and stock stiffening but is a mongrel thing to work the bolt on so whilst i will keep working on it i want to get something nice and new.
Cheers

One of the various Brownings either A or X whatever you like best, Winchester ss, Sako A7,Another tikka with upgraded rings,Remmy xcr11 actually there's quite a few around that mark when you start looking, wish I had your problem.

Tikka T3 in 338 federal, suppressor and shoot sub sonics, or get a T3 in 308, suppress and try some of Spanners 308 subsonic projectiles he is making. Reason for T3 is have one mag with supersonics and another with subsonics.

Winchester mod 70.........easy decision

Tikka T3 Lite in syn/blue .270 .That should leave you $500 towards some nice optics for it. (or a chopper ride)

CZ 550, beautiful rifles!

Winchester is a strong contender Neckshot i do like the x bolts allot they feel good when shouldered.
I will probably take the Redfield off the 770 for the optic side of things Chris so would rather spend the money on the rifle.

the action for the money is solid,see if you can have a play with both and compare mate.

I agree with Neck Shot. Winchester model 70.

A custom suppressed 338 fed would be the nuts

1600 for rifle only, or glass included ?

im certainly no expert but im guessing you ve decided on which cal you getting just the make n model you want
ive been in the same dilemma as-well and currently waiting for a back order of a laminate stock t3 308 wright or wrong i guess ill find out after it arrives

Just the Rifle ebf.
Im not 100% on the cal either to be honest i have been thinking about .300wsm so i can have one ammo going instead of 2 but i would like something for the boy when he gets old enough to shoot so another 300 may not work.

get a 243 then upsize it when your ready maybe,im pretty sure they have a good calibre selection.
