Help me with my "Registry is gone" celebretory purchase

[Anglinfool]

Since the CPC got in, I've been saying that as soon as the registry is gone, I will purchase a quality, lightweight hunting rifle. I have a couple already (Rem 700, M70), but this one will have special meaning to me.

Criteria: Synthetic stock, stainless, short action, lightweight with a cost of no more then $2000. This rifle will be used in the field as my spot and stalk rifle.

Of course, a Kimber Montana in .308 would be the obvious choice, but what other rifles should I consider?

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

How about a finnlite in .260?

 

[pres717]

I'm gonna buy the most tactical, assault-type, black semi-auto non-restricted rifle I can find to celebrate!

Finnlite.

 

[shanedapane]

Another vote for Finnlite.

 

[harv3589]

Definitely a Finnlite!

Finnlite.

I'll have to have a look at one. I like the idea of the .260 with a shorter barrel. While trying a new caliber is never a bad idea, I'm set up nicely for .308, so I'd lean that way I think.

Any other suggestions?

I'd be looking for a well preserved Brno 21H or 21F in 7x57. IMHO, the best lightweight sporter ever made.

My suggestion... anything that makes you smile the moment you see it!

 

[GRiNGo]

Finnlight in 308.

 

[rem338win]

Get a Remigton Model 7 and order a McMillan Edge.
Or a Kimber in .257 Roberts.
Good luck!

Montana in 7-08.

Buy the Sako. When I 'settle' I end up flipping it later at a loss to get the one I really want. Might as well buy it first.

If the gun laws were changed the way they ought to be changed, then a FN FAL would be the immediate choice.

 

[Sakonut]

the old man has a M75 finnlight .308, and it's a dream to carry and shoot. I am sure a M85 finnlight would be just as awesome...+1 for the sako

Sound advice there.

You mean eliminated, right? There would be nothing wrong with the law being completely silent on firearms. It would be a refreshing change from opressive government over-regulation.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I dream that they will allow most of the restricted rifles to be carried the way we do our bolts and levers and pumps. In this dream I carry a super accurate AR out coyote hunting and another in 6.8SPC for deer. Then my old lady smacks me awake and tells me to get after the yard work.
