help me pick out a rifle
« on: July 09, 2012, 09:48:41 PM »
I am in the market for a new rifle. Don't have to much to spend but could probably go up to $500 without optics. I am not married to a caliber but need something to take down bear or elk. Probably will be using it most for bear as I bowhunt for elk and deer. I just want to see what ya'll recommend.

Bump your price up 30 bucks and get a tikka. Something between 243 and 300 rum should work.  :tup:

That would be perfect for what you're looking for, and the price is right. The scope is decent too so there wouldn't be a need to change anything.

If you buy new, I was going to recommend getting a 30/06 in maybe a Savage 110 or a Weatherby Vanguard.

My family likes Browning A-Bolts. We use common cartridges, 270win, 7mm-08, 270short mag, 30-06. The gun in the classifieds sounds like one to look at.
