First Huntan Rifle 2.0 Electric Boogaloo

T3

>>32058246
The only one from that list that I've handled is the T3 when I put a few rounds through my friend's at the range. The next bolt action I buy is going to be a Tikka from that experience.

And for x39, you're really not saving that much money if you buy good ammunition.

I did quite like the T3, but for the wood stock it's a bit pricey. I could just get a synthetic model as well.

As a general question, how are Kimber's rifles? They looked quite nice, felt nice, but having firsthand experience with shitty Kimber handguns I'm wary of them.

I'm getting a Weatherby Vanguard S2, which is built around a Howa. I would recommend that over the Tikka, in that the stock on the Tikka feels hollow and poor in quality in comparison. I hear they fixed that with the T3x, though, and it's not like it makes it a bad gun by any means.
Sorry I don't have anything better to contribute, I just figured I'd throw it out there if you hadn't already considered it.
I'd say x39 should do you fine, but I cannot imagine there's much of a price difference between that and .308?

>shitty Kimber handguns I'm wary of them.
that should already have tipped you off.

>>32058363
I was looking at the Tikka but now that concerns me. Do you know if they make vanguards for lefties?

Get the tikka if you can afford it. It's a sub 6lb rifle in that stock, and mine shoots half MOA in it; there's nothing wrong with it. It also has the smoothest bolt and nicest trigger I've shot.

>>32058873
They don't. Their Mark V's come left handed if you decide to dropping $2000 on a rifle is in the cards. Shooting a bolt action from the opposite shoulder isn't impossible, and do keep in mind that lever action are still very much viable.

>>32058873
I wouldn't worry about it, and if it's anything to you, the T3 was my first choice - I just went for Weatherby because I got a good deal on it, and there's a kit available to make it take box magazines. I don't know where you stand on the DBM vs. hinged floor plate issue, but I'm more partial to box magazines.

Bump, just finished shooting a couple rifles including a Browning X-Bolt, CZ 527, and Tikka T3

The Tikka T3 felt real cheap, it's an older model but it's also only worth about $400. The Browning was smoother and the stock felt really nice, but the CZ was my favorite and much more pleasant to shoot.

Fuck this is gonna be tough choosing.

I have a Tikka T3x adjustable and the hollowness of the old plastic stocks are totally gone except on the lite model. They also fixed other stuff that people complained about so I would say get the Tikka.

>>32058246
If you're considering 7.62x39, just get an AK.

>>32058246
CZ 557 in .308?

>>32061699
Good rifle, but not great.
You can get a better rifle for just a little bit more money.

>>32061699
I'd do the 550 over the 557; they took a lot of 'cheap' manufacturing shortcuts to make the 557 cost less.

>>32061304
But I don't want an AK, I want a manual action that is suitable for backpacking or hunting.

I have a bunch of autoloaders, and I'm finding them quite boring.

>>32061699
I considered it, but if I bought a CZ rifle it would be either the 527 in x39 or the 550 FS which is hard to find in my area.

Howa mini or <insert levergat here>

About the same price as the Cz, also has iron sights, and is chambered in a better round for all around purposes. That being said I'd love to have a Cz 527 for plinking.

Just put together a 24" AR15 chambered in 6.5 Grendel. All I need to do is get glass for it.

>>32063728
I have 2 ARs, I don't want another currently. Also that's much more expensive than just buying one of these guns.

>>32063706
Both the CZ and Scout have irons, the Scout feels a bit cheap but the action is smooth enough and trigger is good.

>>32063749
We'll I'm really only putting money down for half a gun (like $700), since 6.5G uses the same lower receiver as a standard 5.56 chambering. I already have a normal AR so I just switch out the uppers.

>>32064214
I still would prefer to have a manual action of sorts. I move in between states often, and some states don't allow autoloaders for hunting.

>>32065125
Good point. Getting a bolt action is next on the agenda. Any general pointers/tips for picking one out?
