Recommendation on first rifle?

[HebrewSamurai]

Savage 110. Cheap, stupid accurate and easy to swap barrels.

BP

Have a particular one you like?

Ick, already caving in to Tikka fanbois.

I know. I’ve never held one but they make me feel nothing when I look at them online.

I’d be giving up too much velocity.

Not enough to make a difference at 250. Im currently chopped all my rifles to 16”.

Done some soul searching and came up with what’s important to me. Found a bergara wilderness for $650 I almost pulled the trigger on but it’s on the heavy side and have yet to do it.

What I want:
-stainless or cerakoted
-22” or shorter
-light weight
-hinged floor plate is preferred
-single stage trigger (my muzzy is two stage and It’s bothersome)
- ~$1000 for the rifle

Found a used kimber which seems like a good deal https://www.guns.com/used-guns/p/kimber-84m-hunter-pro?i=560158

Christiansen Arms Mesa FFT is absolutely gorgeous but has some mixed reviews.

This is just me documenting my journey. Thanks for all the tikka recommendations though! I might end up with one xp

This should have everything but the hinged floorplate. Roughtech stock has a nice feel to it. Add a $20 vertical grip and go shoot stuff.

For those playing along at home I ended up getting a Kimber 84m in 6.5 cm
