re: Recommend a bolt action rifle

I have 2 T3's and both are tack drivers, could not be happier, but you really can not go wrong with the major mfr's, go wqith what feels right to you, .270 is a great caliber for what you are describing

how much are you looking to spend on glass? meopta gets a lot of love around here, i did not care for the one I looked through. go to a store with a good selection and be sure and look through a vortex and pick what you like
