Rifle Choices

Trying to decide what I want to tinker with next. I have a tikka 6.5 cm stainless that’s chopped and threaded with a dead air nomad ti, RS1.2 going on it this week. What should I do next?

All of the above. Come on now

What’s your pleasure? None of the above could be as beneficial as any.

Ahh cmon, I’m working on paying off a truck first and foremost. It’s the only debt I have. Saving a little on the side for fun stuff.

I could realistically do one now and another in a few months. Most likely .223 then rokstok. But then I’d need a rokstok for the .223 to really make it purposeful.

Hunting, fishing, golf, and whiskey for the most part. Shooting proficiency for hunting is a current obsession and something I’m dedicating more time to than ever before. I might not reach 1000 rounds this year but I should hit 700+.

Carbon copy 223 with two rokstocks! Tomorrow my 223 and 6 creed will be identical once I put in the new maven scope. I’d order at least one stock now if you want it by hunting season and then everything else when you pay off your truck.

Pay off your truck and golf and buy a decent Whiskey.

Dedicate yourself to 700+ proficiency with the 6.5.

This is the right answer but I voted .223

Nothing wrong with that and could actually be cheaper depending on taste in whiskey.

Waiting for the 7mm PRC comments lol. Also drink all your whiskey and then move to bourbon. Angel’s Envy is a good place to start

4th option
Buy bunch of ammo or components for it and go shoot it a bunch.

Already have 500+ rounds, will buy more either way.

I voted 223 trainer, but of course the correct answer is all of the above. Just brought home a new 223 yesterday and am getting started on the rattle can paint job after free floating it last night. Still waiting to pounce on another RS1.2
I’m retired and have no debt, so I’m just converting my kid’s inheritance to hard assets. The boys are cool with it, my daughter …meh

All 3 will happen at some point, it's just the decision on what to start with first that I've been going back and forth on. Should have bought the .223 a month ago when I found a $715 deal on one...
