Thread: What to buy for long range

The tikka T3 lite in 7mmrem mag will not blow your shoulder apart.

A light load of adi AR2217, say 70-72 grains will give you 2900-3000fps with a 162g a-max and will be like a 7mm-08 to shoot

That combo will harvest all the deer species in NZ that you are likely to encounter, and you won't ever need to buy another rifle as your skill set improves.



If you need more energy at range then get the same rifle in 300 win mag and use the 180g BT or 190g VLD at the same velocities. This chambering also suits the 230g target VLD but only when your experience dictates the necessity, and yes, your shoulder will certainly feel the difference from the 7mm.
