I wanted a recommendation, for a new rifle.
I have a Savage Model 12 VLP in 300 wsm, this rifle does not really serve much purpose anymore as I have another gun i use for long range.
this gun will not be used for long range really.
so i basically want a lighter weight, not necessarily ultra light rifle. basically a normal weight rifle, not a varmint profile.
I have some rifles I have been considering, they are:
Remington 700 sps
Remington 700 xcr
Tikka t3 lite
Thompson Center Venture
Browning A bolt
Winchester 70
Weatherby Vanguard
out of these, the Remington seems like a good option, but I have not been overly impressed with their quality lately.
Tikka I have heard good things, but I am not sure??
Thompson Center has accuracy guarantee, appears to be nice, not sure though
the Browning and Winchester I am not considering as much, but wanted input.
weatherby Vanguard I am not sure on either i do not know very much
I wanted opinions, I will get synthetic, 300 wsm or 300 win mag, quality and accuracy are important, also if a stock was not a "synthetic" and actual composite that is a plus,
any opinions or suggestions?
also ask anymore questions, realize this site is long range mainly, but an opinion may be offered for just regular use.
thanks
