Advice and guidance: 1 rifle and caliber

I'd like to thank everyone on their input, it made shopping a bit easier when it came down to final decision time. I'm now obsessing over optics choices lol.

Congrats on the Tikka! My dad bought one in fall of 18 and liked his so much I got one too in 6.5cm for this last deer season. Now Im looking to maybe adding a 300 winny in stainless

Another vote for the Vortex 3-15x42 LH. Has hash marks to 24 MOA, no dialing needed for any hunting situation.

SWFA 3x9 in sportmatch Rings seems to be the ticket. Although I still use crappy Leupolds.

Good job! Now, what about your second rifle?

 

[16Bore]

Yes....

And that would be another Tikka in 223 twisted 1:8 for heavies. Same rings, same scope, same dope (or damn close)

I own several rifles, this is going to be my workhorse for travel hunting.

Scratch "second" and replace with "next"!

I think my next rifle will be a bigger caliber, perhaps a .375 H&H

Tikka 6.5 creed. To me this is the default answer to a guy who has to ask.

35 Whelen or 9.3x62 would be fun as well with slightly less recoil. I have plans to send my 270 into JES and have it rebored to either one of those cartridges.

Damn good choice. That's a lifetime rifle that won't ever let you down.

You’re late to the party, and I didn’t have to ask.

30-06 is always the answer. Always has been, always will.

270 WSM isn't really a magnum. If you'd be OK with 30-06 you'd be OK with 270 WSM.

+1. My 14 year old daughter handles hers like a champ. She's 5'6 and 110 pounds. Shots from 90 to 175. She called her hit this year before coming out of the scope. That's in a 70 featherweight.

If your ok with a 270 WSM, you should be OK with a Vanilla 270 too. Been there, done that...

Less than 10 rounds through the one I had..Kimber Montana. Sold it for a vanilla one and it was more of a good thing.

‘Course I tripped it too......
