    what would you get for ....

    Hi guys

    Thinking about getting a rifle and I know we talk about this over and over again in forums. I have done a search,(if it's not in the search engine within certain pages I will stop ).

    What would you get in a 308 or a 708 rifle,stainless or some thing that would with stand the NZ weather under $3,000 and without the scope, (will buy scope once got rifle).

    I am looking into hunting on the tops or bush and the rifle would have to be a magazine, not auto.


    I ask this as all I see is T3,sako,remington...... Sako ???


    Thank you


    Toby

    Buy my 7-08. It's great.
    Getting older is compulsory, growing up is entirely optional.

    Toby you are addicted (which is not a bad thing). Calculate the number of firearms you will have when you are 65 by dividing the number of rifles you have now by your age and then multiplying the answer by 65. Once you have the answer then ask yourself "where will I put them all"?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Sounds like you will be covering a bit of ground if your into hunting the tops as well. I would say either a sako finnlight or tikka t3 in 708. There are options in between such as the A7 but I dont see the differences as being enough to warrant the variations in prices. I have a 19" tikka which shoots 162gr amaxes into half inch at 2600fps from magazine length which makes a very handy lightweight setup suitable for anything from 0 to around 600yard (what i consider extreme range for this setup) The sako would most likely offer better mag length and certainly has very nice features
    Sako 85 Finnlight Stainless Synthetic | Trade Me
    not my preferred retailer to deal with but gives an idea of new price, you could get one second hand for cheaper but not sure if your wanting new or second hand

    Since you're not quite into basic and unscoped used Blaser R93 territory for that price, and the trouble would be finding someone parting with one, I'd go with a lightweight Sako, in 7mm08.
