New Gun ?'s

arnold_jeremiah · Apr 12, 2011

Ok guys so i'm thinking i will draw at least 2 deer tags and possibly an elk tag for rifle season this year. I have a .30-06 in the 700 mtn rifle and i can't shoot it worth a darn. I'm thinking i'll buy a new gun this friday and give the 06 to my brother for graduation. I've been looking at a sendero in .300 win mag seems like a good gun but is it worth the price? Also liked the tikka's and they are about 1/3rd the price of the sendero. I have a ruger in .22-250 that i really like and would buy a larger caliber one but they don't sell them at the store i'm looking at. So what would ya'll buy and what caliber?

That 06 should be ideal. Why can't you shoot it?

I have no idea why i can't. I really have never liked it all that much. Last time i shot it the stock broke at the swivel stud so i'm gonna have to replace that. Plus with it being broke i can justify to my girlfriend why i need to spend money on a new gun. ha ha

You might take it to a reputable smith and have a stock put on to your liking. The barrel can be floated and the action bedded at this same time. Just a thought.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-12-11 AT 06:59PM (MST)[p]That Sendero is gonna get a little heavy if you have to tote it any distance. I think you would love the Tikka. I like the .300 Win mag too.

Ended up with the Tikka in a .270 wsm. I really like how light it is plus it was 200 bucks cheaper including a vortex scope than the sendero. Hopefully it shoots nice.
