I’m looking to get another rifle for the purpose of being lighter weights than an 11lb all in 300 WM. My son and I are headed west for Mule deer and he also has an elk tag. As much as I love the 6.5 PRC, this will be 6.5CM so we share the same caliber and I reload a ton for it already. I was looking at the Tikka specter being a 20” factory threaded gun and my sons Tikka Veil is a shooter. I really like the new Ruger American Gen 2 both normal and really rhe ranch having that 16” barrel sure seems handy. MY LGS has new savage Ultralights for about $1000 and a good deal on an sig cross. I know the cost is half when looking at the ruger but I’ve never shot any of them yet besides Tikkas. Any ideas or first hand experience comparing them to the Tikka?
Goal is up to 600 yards, be about 7.5-8lbs or so fully dressed. Being a 6.5CM we shoot 140 ELDM and also the 143 ELDX. His gun flat out shoots and the confidence level with that vs the 300 in my opinion is night and day.
I have a spare Vortex Razor HD LHT that will go on what ever one we pick up.
Thanks in advance!
