re: Convince me of what brand deer rifle

We've beat the .270 vs 30.06 to death. I like a bigger caliber because to the "shock and awe"

Between myself uncles and FIL we've killed deer with everything from a sharp pointy stick to a .06. My FIL uses a remmington semi auto in .06. I forget what model it is but its old as dirt. He doesnt even use gun oil on it, uses wd-40. Rifle still functions fine, no rust and he rarely needs more than a single shot. Probably wont find a semi auto rifle for a couple months at a decent price. If you have the money Id look at some of the browning a bolts. Some of the newer xbolts have my attention but to tell you the truth Ive been wanting to custom build a .308 on an ar platform for a while now. Market rifles are uncomfortable for me to shoot and I end up having to add extra but stock pads to get a proper fit.

I mean I suppose that the special camo pattern looks fine but you cannot tell me that a Tikka looks as nice as a Xbolt. Even from online pictures you can see the quality difference. The composite stocks are world's apart and the wood furniture are even further apart.

.325 MOA from your hunting rifle and you aren't even a great shot? What are your load numbers? What glass?

Winchester and Browning are a Chevy/GMC thing.They are basically the same gun. Winchester and Browning

It sounds like a proven rifle and no reason not to keep it. I just prefer both quality and performance.

My Xbolt leaves the safe more than my 700, Abolt, Savage POS, and BAR (too damn heavy).

My next rifle will be a Kimber. I have one in .204 and I love it.

Choirboy has the Kimber Montana and really likes it.

Browning a bolt. Case closed
