From another thread @Formidilosus posted "
My question, I was going to ask, but I feel you may have already answered. Forgive this old fart, I haven't bought a bolt action in over 25 years, (all of those prior were Rem 700's 308, 7Mag etc) I have been playing with AR's, TC Encores, and not to mention 12 ga slug guns, but now that I have a grandson, and another one coming in October, the thoughts of me passing down legitimate rifles down to them, from todays normal "factory" production in a PF (not a micro brand or custom) ie, Remington, Bergara, Winchester, Savage, Howa, Weatherby, Ruger, Browning, Sako(which one?), Tikka T3X, Sauer (cant afford a Blaser lol) as far as accurate, reliable, etc the Tikka T3X will have the least issues. If I was looking for a CRF then, then which would it be? The new Win 70, Ruger 77 or Kimber? Im guessing Win 70? If I forgot any please mention them, and @Formidilosus thanks for your time in advance. Oh, caliber wise, Im thinking 243, 6CM 6.5CM, 308, 6.5 PRC. I have enough .223/5.56 in an AR (s), but switching the barrel out in one of them for a 1 in 7 twist instead of the 1 in 9. Even comparing now the 22ARC vs 6 ARC in another one....too many options lol Thanks again for y'alls time.
Correct, there is nothing that competes with a T3x now.
For me, it’s more about that if I want a new rifle there really only is Tikka or newer Sako’s, Blaser, Sauer. There isn’t a single factory or custom American made action/rifle that competes with those when taken as a whole for a field rifle. Maybe an American made CRF that is reliable and takes prefits could change that."
