The winchester Ballistic silvertip I was plan on using runs about 38$ a box here in Oklahoma. He said a max of two weeks for delivery. Im ok with that.
If you were just referencing models with your links Here's what I have read up on them so far: Mossberg Model 100 ATR - Read lot's of bad stuff on them, Something about mossberg buying the patent from someone else or some such. Lost interest after reading multiple bad reviews on it? Marlin XL7 - It is the same barrel and bolt as the X7S I linked above as my number three rifle. Thompson Center Venture - Same as my Number two rifle linked above. Weatherby Vanguard - Read lots of bad stuff about them and a buddy at work has one who swears it wont shoot below a 3 inch group at 100 yards. Conversly read that the mark 5's are awesome but I can't afford those. Howa / Hogue - I wish. Out of my price range. Tika T3 - I wish. Out of my price range. Remington 700 - I wish. Out of my price range. Savage 116FCSS - This is actually another gun I intend to save up for (either this one or the 11FCNS), but it will be next years season before I can get it and it will be in the 300WSM. The last three (Howa, Tika, and Savage) are all guns I have looked at but considered out of my current price range since I have not been able to find them for under 500$ unless i shop on craigslist or some other used auction type gun site. Back to my original 4? any experience with them? Okie76 i personally own three Remington model 700's they are a 300 win mag, 7mm mag, and a 270 all of them were less than $800 dollars that's including all the fees and sales tax that i have on them in Pennsylvania. i personally vouch for the model 700 its by far the best when it comes to reliability, comfortability and weight. i also have a Remington 7600 6mm which until recently the 7600 is just as good as the model 700's only the 7600 is a pump instead of a bolt action. the 7600 are easier on the pocket book as well. |
Congrats to you both. You don't need to shoot the high $$$ ammo either. Try the blue box federal. I have lots of experience with the 25 06, and have never needed to track anything that I have shot with it. Works great for everything from mice to moose. I shoot the 120 grain Speer, and it plain works.
