Free Rifle

Say someone says, “Hey, you’ve been busting your butt at work for the past six months and I know you look forward to hunting season all year, so here’s $2000 to go get yourself a rifle and scope upgrade.”

What would you guys be looking at?

I hunt out west once or twice a year and spend the rest of the year hunting whitetails in SC. Not looking to get into long range shooting. I currently have a BAR in 7mm Rem Mag with a leupold VX-3 that was a hand me down from my grandfather. I’d like to get a rifle that’s a little easier to tote around but doesn’t kick like a mule.

Ooh Ooh I want to play! Does it start with a T and end in manbun?

I’d use it on a down payment for a NULA in 7mm-08.

Savage 110 ultralight in 300 wsm or 6.5 prc. Top it off with a razor lht. It would put you slightly over the 2 grand mark but would be perfect. Plus if you ever did get into long range you would have the perfect set up

i think it is for him not his daughter...

Lever gun? Maybe something neat like a .300 savage? That would check the box in easy to tote and light recoil.

 

[cobbc03]

I would go with either a tikka, savage 110, or a new browning in 6.5 creedmor or 270.

Savage 25-06!!!! Get a Leupold and you’ll really be a Rokslide outcast. Deer killing machine with 117 gr SST tho!

 

[BRTreedogs]

Christensen Traverse in 6.5 PRC
Then scope it out of pocket

for $2K you can get a pretty nice rifle and a pretty nice piece of glass to go with it. There are are ton of guns under $1k that will meet any of your needs leaving you with plent left over on a good 3-9 or 4-12 scope wchich will do anything you want it to do. I am a fan of the new Weatherby vanguards and the Savage rifles. they are great guns for the money. plenty of guys like Tikka's you will hear from them loudly. For calibers anything mentioned above will be good. You cannot go wrong with any of the common rounds that everyone loves to geek out over. even the 7mm-08

here is one you could not go wrong with. love the good ole .270 will do anything.

Or if you reload the 25-06 with a 131 blackjack bullet would be nice

Did you even read what the OP wrote? Go back and read the last line.

Prolly a Kimber Montana in 7mm-08 and top it with a VX3i 2-8x36 and call it a day.
