    Tikka + VX5hd for rifle and scope.

    Calibre is the hard one IMO, if you are planning to hunt to 500m then 7mm08 would be hard to beat, or 6.5CM/260. 308 will do the job but is more recoil than you really need and looses in ballistics to 7mm and 6.5mm cartridges.

    Really the easy choice for long range hunting is 6.5PRC buy not sure what the factory ammo situation is like these days.
    Gkp and 25/08 IMP like this.
