Bombproof Do-All Rifle Setup
- Thread starter madcarpenter
- Start date
Why no mention of Ruger Scout? An amazing do it all very light carbine with irons and many options for the optics mounting. I bought one used, the gent who sold it to me shared the recipe and targets: 0.5" groups from 100yards with the 150gr bullets. I still don't get it how it lost to tikka in the ranger tender. And now we hear about tikka stock delaminations costing additional pile of tax money. I guess the same game as sig320 vs glock

You have a 90 peak and NF in stout rings?
Lol, I know, when I think I’m done a few years goes by and then maybe the goalposts have moved slightly, again, and the mind disease grows, again, and out comes the wallet, again.
Limited budget:
Weatherby Vanguard S2 Stainless In 30/06 topped with a Leupold VX3. Talley's have worked well for me but pick what works you.
Health budget:
Sako 75/85/90 Stainless in 30/06 with stainless Optilock bases and rings with a Leupold VX5 or VX6.
Pick one and done.

If they were more available and less costly I could see myself with a 7600 weather master. Upgrade the irons to Williams firesights, as far as scope while there may be better options for some applications I'll take a 1" tuned elite 4500 2.5-10x mounted as low as I can. Probably 30-06, although a 308 or 270 would be acceptable for most things.
But given the cost if you can even find one, I'd stick some iron sites on a T3x stainless. Cartridge may change but probably not. CRF is appealing but I'd rather have the stainless steel and put any of the additional savings toward ammo.

I mean tikka’s are good for sure, but really any rifle will do the job at that point, the savage axis of this world has been so accessible in the past 20 years that I’m sure they have the most rounds through lol.
Life is too short to shoot ugly live less guns… hahaha
But of course that is just me, it has to have wood stock(I have one now with a synthetic stock but it’s different
) blue steel and open sights!
