Thread: Can you help me choose my next build

Hi all,

Well I’m at a point now where I am looking a having a dabble in some long range shooting. It will occasionally venture out to some vally’s to see if it can put some meat on the table.

I’m in a quandary between Calibre, manufactures and models so hoping you can perhaps provide some insight if you have used one of these list below before. With all the combined knowledge on this forum I’m sure you point me in the right direction.

Of note.

1. I won’t be carrying it more than a couple of KM each time I’m out looking to fill the freezer. The rest of the time it won’t be moved much.
2. I don’t currently reload so ammo will brought of the shelf. I have ruled out a Ruger Rpr 338lm because of the cost of the rounds (approx $12-15 each)
3. I have a couple of boxes of 300WM still floating around from a CZ550 that I’ll be selling shortly (I carnt bring myself to butcher this to meet my needs as it’s as new condition with zero rounds though it and will suit a collector) - so ammo cost will be lower for this caliber.
4. Range will be anywhere from 400-1200ish yards (just guessing)

So here’s what I’m thinking so far.

Tikka Ctr 6.5CM
Tikka Super Varmint 6.5CM
Bergara pro 6.5CM
Sako S20 Precision in 6.5CM or 7mm rem mag
Ruger rpr 300wm
Ruger rpr 300prc

I like them all, but feel like I’m getting pulled towards the ruger rpr in 300win or 300prc.

Any thought, pros or cons on the above? - oh and I can buy 1x now and another 1x next year

Cheers and thanks
