What about a .280 bit more power added to a .270

Tikka T3 light. 6.5X55 Swede.

 :yeah:

I've got the hunter version (wood) and it's my go-to rifle.

as far as your go to rifle, dont you only have 2 and the other one doesnt group lol. a ruger isnt it?
swede isnt a bad choice eith btw.

Yeah...not all of us are rich two-stripers with an addiction to purchasing european guns and optics... ;)

I've got my Tikka, a Ruger M77 Mark II in .270 (the one that I hate), A Browning BLR in .243, and a couple old winchester 94's.


Is that enough to justify having a "go-to" rifle, or do I need more?
get my 3rd strip in a couple weeks lol.
i didnt say it was  a bad rifle. lol. when are you going to pick up some glass.

Oh *censored*...E-4 = Swaro. :chuckle:

I'm not sure, I'm kind of on this kick where I'm looking more in to lightweight sleeping bags, and a pack that does it all so I can just hunt and camp where I end up at the end of the day.  I don't want to have to hike back out to camp, or hike back to a spike camp, I just want to have the ability to carry everything on my back and go where I want.   It's going to cost a little to get what I want...


then you definately want some high quality light weight glass that will perform in all conditions in the back country.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
