$1000
« on: January 14, 2016, 07:54:58 PM »
So your wife says here hun, here is $1000 to spend on a rifle and scope. You already have a 7mm and a 30-30. What gun, caliber (deer and antelope), and scope do you get. I know this question will open Pandora's box...

I'd trigger and scope your 7mm leupold with a turret vx6 4x14 time trigger 1.5 to 3 lbs

Hmm... well considering what you have, I think a 25/06 would be about right. Maybe look at Savage first, American made and reasonably priced. For a scope Leupold VX-2 in a 3-9x40. You should be able to keep it under $1000 with a Savage/Leupold combo.

The .243 wsm, or .270 wsm comes to my mind.

My 7mm has a leupold vx3 which is a great scope how, the vortex viper looks great and I get 40 percent off. I plan to use this new rifle for deer and antelope. The 7mmis a tikka t3.

If you only have $1000 I would honestly get a Savage 11/111 Long Range Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor, they're around $900, then I would save up and buy a scope at a later date.

I'd dump a new trigger in that tikka, top it with a viper pst and bed it in a new stock.  You'll be amazed how well it will improve.

For your price range I like this setup, it's a Howa 1500 in a Hogue stock with a Zeiss 3-9x42 scope. Great deal for the money. Comes in 25/06 which is perfect for deer and antelope or if you want a cartridge that's not so common you can get it in the 6.5x55.

MSRP is $1043.

I'm looking for something with less recoil due to shoulder surgery. I will definately consider this later.
