I have a 6x45 and 6 arc. Both are in bolt guns with 22" barrels. Both are savages. The 6x45 has a bhw barrel and the arc is a factory savage. Bhw barrels have a reputation for speed. They're both pretty neat little rounds. The arc does get better velocity and can shoot the heavies. My 6x45...
As far as wind goes, they're pretty good. I did have mine blow down and rip 2 holes in it. I think my aluminum cot was missing the end cap and created a tear in the tent. Anyway, it was a pretty intense wind. I took it to a local canvas place and they got it back together for 60 bucks or so...
The only moisture i have noticed is from the rubber bottom where its seamed to the canvas and the zipper where i run the propane hose for the heater. I run am 18k btu buddy heater and it will run you out of there on high. I also have the deluxe model so i have vents on every door/wall. I just...

I have 2 tikkas and a ph2. My ctr stock feels much different than my seekins stock. I prefer the seekins stock and would like to get the bravo stock for my ctr. Tikkas are much smoother actions out of the box. In fact, my ph2 was disappointing untill i cycled it about 1000 times. All sub 3/4...
For a basic scope and no dialing.Leupold vx3. 30mm tube. Reticle of your choice. They're simple, reliable, light, and good enough glass. They have great eye relief and sight picture. They don't sell the warranty like vortex, but they do have a good one.
Start with your right handed guns. You can shoot a right handed bolt rifle left handed. If he's never shot a gun, he'll have nothing to compare it to. Might save him the future headache of finding left handed rifles. My brother is left handed and has only had one left handed bolt rifle and has...
