My budget will determine how many of these I am able to acquire this year. Likely one or two, but I'd like to expand my collection with the following:
1. .17 HMR bolt action to replace my 22lr.
2. 6.8 Western, 7 inch twist factory Browning rifle.
3. A compact and threaded factory 7mm Backcountry rifle.
4. 308 Norma Magnum, custom rifle, or if I find a desirable used one.
5. 378 Weatherby Magnum in a Weatherby dangerous game rifle.
6. Want to replace my .410 bolt action with a side by side.
7. A 404 Jeffrey custom or desirable used one. More of a long term goal.
All of the rifles I own have iron sights on them and no scope but I think if I get a 6.8 Western or 7mm Backcountry, I'll pair them with high quality short range scopes. I think a scope will work for my desired close range hunting because sometimes visibility is poor even close range due to things like fog, dust, shrubs, and uneven terrain. Plus a scope will allow me to view my backstop more clearly.
