Well I think I'm looking for a new rifle as 2 or my normal ones are not shooting well enough and several gunsmiths I've heard from are way backed up. I don't rifle hunt a lot but have a good late deer tag (Colo. 20 pts in mid-November) this year and want something accurate at least out to 500 yds. Much further and I'm sure I'd just try to get closer. From my very limited experience and talking with a couple others, I've been looking at Tikka 3x, and Browning Hells Canyon likely in 7mm RM, 300 WM or 300 WSM. I have a good new scope (Leupold VX5) so just looking for a decent gun but probably don't want to go custom because I mostly bow/muzzy hunt. In the Denver Area and most bigger stores are very similar in price between $800-$1200 so that's kind of the ballpark I'm thinking. Any suggestions are appreciated as I said I've just not been into rifles much so inexperienced.
