So hunting season just finished up here in the big sky state. Ive put many miles on the past 6 weeks in search of elk and deer and successfully harvested 3 ruffed grouse(while cutting firewood). All that is left to chase now is wolf, other predators, and year end sales.
The thought has crossed my mind about a new rifle to have as a grab and go, shoot anything, bang around, back up, loaner rifle. I'm starting to come up with a check list of features Id really like to have;
Under $800
Really thinking about a 25-06 so want a 24" barrel
3 position safety, or 2 position that locks the bolt and has a bolt release
4+ round capacity, flush with the stock, floor plate or detachable mag
Under 7.5 pounds
Accurate
Quality stock
I think i want stainless or coated
Let the enabling begin!
