Its a 7mm-08 Remington 700 w/ Zeiss Terra 3x 3-9 (x42 maybe?). Guy is asking around $1300ish. I had previously been looking for a second hand Tikka in .270 but saw this and thought it was a reasonable deal on similar caliber. Just like to hear peoples opinion on the setup, potentially compared to a Tikka/.270.

Mainly hunting deer atm but looking to move into Tahr come Spring and keen to have a solid setup to be confident with. Hunting range would be max 400yd.

Cheers

@jpurdon , I have a 270. After reading what you are wanting to do I wouldnt muck round, buy philipo's 6.5 prc It will do it all and you will have it for life. https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....6-5-prc-82529/
