[QUOTE="nowler, post: 10907, member: 2305"] doberman i have to agree with most of the last 2 posts. i live in scotland and hunt with a .222, .25-06, 6mmPPC, all of which are sako's and .308W from accuracy international. i'd go for a sako or a tikka or a ruger, depending upon what you fancy. where abouts are you and what kind of deer is it you have to hunt? this would seriously dictate the choice of caliber in my opinion. if you are planning on going over 300m, then you are looking for a caliber with high ballistic coefficients. i'd opt for one of the 6.5's if this is the case. as for scopes..... swarovski are not all they are cracked up to be. i have just sold one and replaced it with another leupold long range tactical, which is every bit as good as the swarovski. it depends on your preference though and what you are using them for. you might wish to portion some of your budget to buying some reloading gear, as this will improve your accuracy no end. my advice would be listen to as much advice as you can and decide what will work for you. if you need some advice, feel free to email me [email]nowler@hotmail.com[/email] derek [/QUOTE]
