Thread: Ultralight rifle

Cheers for the recommendations guys, much appreciated.

When I bought my sako, I had a "spend as much possible" mindset. I ended up having very high expectations, which only made it worse when the rifle didn't live up to them. Furthermore, I realised my needs in the field weren't necessarily the same as my preconceived requirements. E.g most of my shots were 350 yards and under, making a large scope/expensive rifle not particularly practical.

Recently I bought a nice wooden stocked rifle, more for the form than the function...and even though I'll hang onto it, it's not something I want to go bashing up on the mountains.

So something like a Tikka, Kimber or Howa sounds pretty good for NZ conditions, and I won't be paying $$ for features which don't make any difference realistically speaking.
