Buy 2. A light weight sporter in 1:12 with a 3 -9 or 4-12 scope and another with a heavy barrel with a fast twist with a high magnification score, then your not compromising. And you'll get the right firearm for you purpose.

I just got a Remington 7615 police pumper and a couple of 30 round mags so I can chase foxes around like Rambo. Also because I still can. Already banned in WA I think.

I've owned Remington's and they're good.


This is not correct.

Tikka and sako are made in Finland.

Remington and savage are made in the USA.

Weatherby and Howa are made in Japan.

I've owned 1 Remington and it was rubbish I sold it and bought a Tikka. I now own Tikka, CZ, Mauser, Weatherby and all are good at what I bought them for.

Buy the rifle that fits you best and has the features you want.
