Same with rimfire. Sako Quads were around a grand or more, for that dosh you could have a reasonable 22 and a WMR/HMR or even a 223....

Baikal do a single shot take down but a second calibre will cost the same as a second rifle so you may as well get both....

Yeah i'm definetly not wanting to spend that much even if i could. I'm wanting to get something for around a grand with a scope on it to have a bit of fun practicing my stalking when i get sick of my bow. My dad has a .308 blackout that can run leheis but it's a big bloody heavy thing to lug around especially when stalking in tight bush. We also have a sako .223 that we are picking up from kelly country this week but theres no way in hell hes gonna let me use that thing without him watching my every move, since it's brand new. I would buy a savage shorty but i just feel that it's not powerful enough to take a goat down at 70 odd yards, but to be fair i dont know much about guns and would love to be corrected because i am quite fond of the little things. Sorry for rambling, Cheers.
