The Weatherby Vanguard threaded, Bergara B14, and Howa Carbon Stalker are all models Im researching more to try to come to a definitive decision. Unfortunately, I cant weigh in on the Sauer 100 yet because I havent tried it. The internal box magazine holds four rounds. I like the action of the Howa better but the Proof barrel on the Savage. My initial impression is that it is a pretty standard budget bolt gun. (weight) Mostly hand carried, thick timber and hills in foul weather. Im looking at my first hunter and precision rifle that I can take to the range once a month and go on 2 or 3 hunting trips per year (pig/deer) mostly in California or surrounding states. The redesigned rifle includes all the original features that. Not much going on here, really, but its simple and it works. Id probably go with the Weatherby, but both guns will be very accurate. Pretty typical for a synthetic-stocked, budget-oriented hunting rifle. Is it like the other cheap stocks you mentioned Unless you spend 4-5 G on a custom built left handed. Thanks! I would definitely buy the Winchester XPR SR version, which means suppressor ready, so you get a threaded barrel. Have you ever made a review of the Schultz & Larsen rifle? Ive fallen in love. Hi Jim. Sako has major problems with there stocks , I have owned several finnlight 85s and the stock will get sticky , Its not if its when , Sako will not do anything about this issue , They blame it on det in insect spray , I had one still in the box that got sticky and they didnt have an answer for that , You can read about this issue online its everywhere , Browning took care of this problem when they had this issue , I will never buy another sako for this reason , Do your research before buying one. I have been taking in everyone of ur vids I can find and sincerely appreciate your work and am interested in your take on the Seekins product? PS. it seems well priced at about 600. One-Piece Picatinny Rail Quick and easy optics mounting. Vlad I have no idea who you are but you sure do make a lot of noise and a lot less sense. I have a Momentum elite varmint in 224 Valkyrie. I am going to use the rifle for mainly whitetail deer hunting in Wisconsin but I occasionally like once every 5-10 years go out west and hunt pronghorn or elk and have recently tried to hunt moose in Alaska. I am looking for a semi-auto gun for hunting, been looking at the Savage MSR 10 in 6.5 CM and the Smith and Wesson M&P 10 in 6.5 CM (I would really love to see an AR10 in 6.5 PRC). In case anyone is wondering and didnt click the link, its available in 6.5Creedmore. I would love to see you review a Lithgow la102 from Australia. Franchi Momentum .300 Win Mag 24" Black / Hunter Gray 4 Rds 41553. I have been looking at the Browning BAR for years, its a great gun, but I would really like to have an AR format. FRUSTRATING. What r your thought for a high end choice up to around the 3k range? I purchased a 280 AI in a Mark V Weatherby instead. Ill use my customized REM 700 in 300 win mag for elk. Suppressors are DEFINITELY the future, so I wouldnt buy a non-threaded barrel anymore. Franchi, the well-known maker of fine and affordable shotguns, unveiled an updated bolt gun in its Momentum Elite. People harp on me for recommending the Weatherby Vanguard because its essentially the same thing as a Howa 1500, but costs more money. If you were to build a rifle what action would you use. I was unaware of the QC issues with the Cross. I would like something under 6# for $2000 or less with a carbon wrapped barrel. My main gun is a Tikka T3 in 30-06. So not sure what went wrong with the patriot, and I dont really use the ATR except for friends to use but it is a hell of an accurate rifle. The Tikka T3 features a standard box 3 round magazine but certain models come with a 4 round magazine. You made your point. Would like to buy a Tikka Super Varmint barrel and action with MDT chassis but am also considering Bergara UpR.

The only competitor would be a full custom on the amazing MDT HNT 26 chassis. Though the forend wasnt perfectly centered coming closer to the left side of the barrel than the right side it was stiff enough that causing it to contact the free-floated barrel was difficult and wouldnt happen under most typical use. Wow, what a shooter! The Momentum is Franchi's hunting rifle, introduced by the Italian firm in 2018. The trigger however appears to be decent and I like the one piece bolt but I think the internal magazine is a deal breaker for me. It is still a preferred caliber in Scandinavia for big game. It was made for them as a throw back to the Finbear (now Discontinued) Its chambered in 270. Price points on the ammo dont put them too far apart when searching on Ammoseek, usually within 5 bucks a box depending upon brand. DK. Love you work and your research is unparalleled. Ive seen your comments that fierce rifles have poor fit and finish and that customer service is also poor. The Elite series, added alongside the budget-priced original in 2020, did nothing to diminish those impressions. Both the Momentum Elite and the newer Tikka Veil are . Even though Im happy with my decision, the Ultralite might have been the better way to go. Base Price: $816.99: Tax: - In Stock: Back in stock . Way sub-MOA. Great Content. So small and packable, and Im getting incredible accuracy out of it. Along with it is 2-position safety that . Barrett, AI, etc. Esp in 7mm-08. Ok I concede your right to a degree but there are tons and tons of older made deer rifles on the market. I really love your channel. And the thought of upgrades on a new rifle seems stupid to me. I found barrel engraved with 6.5 Creedmore and read manual before use Would you please review the a CZ 600 Alpha? A junk dull blue finish, it would have costed them too much to put a decent high gloss bluing on it. I was about to buy a Christenson Arms rifle but you and a few others have commented about the quality. Ill keep one in mind next time Im in the market. I seriously am not sure how you can improve on it. You mentioned it once but I cant find a video where you review it? Thank you. Love your videos and reviews thanks a ton. I do have a question that I hope you will address. My 2 favorite calibers are 270( I have 6 of them) and 300H&H ( one pre 64 Winchester Model 70 and one Cooper). It has the accufit system but they did not put it in that rifle I assume its to save weight. He recommended a wildcat round, 7 mm SAW. If you want a wood stock, metal parts, and nice bluing, feel free to spend an extra $300 or more on a Ruger Hawkeye or similar. There really isnt much to complain about on a Bergara B-14. You have probably heard this before but I am not really a hunter, at least not yet. Premium recoil pad, pic rail, fluted barrel, muzzle breakMOA guaranteed accuracy like the Tikka. Great choices, Andrew. I sent my Rival back for repair and after six weeks it came back with the same problem. I could go for a more grabby grip myself, but the Momentums checkering is certainly sufficient. Thanks for all of your vids and you helped me get my last two rifles with all the choices. Im looking for a 7mm-08 in a left handed model. The one I tested was in Badlands camo, and is probably the most common edition I see on store shelves. Just remember one thing the price of the good older stuff keeps going up and up so when you waste your money on junk it never goes up in value as fast as the good stuff so when you do get around to buying something of quality you lost twice not once. It shoots some factory ammo sub moa as advertised but has been and uphill battle to get hand loaded 88grn eldm's to group consistent. I appreciate your knowledge and insight. A fine rifle like this is perfect for beating to shit while you learn the other basics. Get one , in 30-06 for the purest experience , and youll be convinced ! Nearly every touch-point Ive had with the company shows obvious signs of errors. TIKKA is proven, Franchi has some good reports. I went with the CVA simply for that reason. Now they are North of $400. I know there will be a lot of hate because Ive been very frank about my opinions, but I test so many rifles that I just wanted one single post that I keep up to date where I can just say it how I see it without any politically correct crap. My two next rifles will be a Weatherby Mark V and a Sako 85. Never shot 6.5 but all I hear are good things whats your opinion. In the video below, I review the Fierce Rogue and show what I like/dislike about the Fierce Rogue. A stock upgrade is also an option, Stockys is producing several different carbon fiber drop-in stocks for the Vanguard/Howa rifle line. Overall, if you forced me to pick a winner in this category, Id probably give it to the Springfield 2020 Waypoint. First let me say your videos are absolutely fantastic. Im really interested in the Benelli Lupo, any chance your going to get your hands on one of those? Maybe not, but I have been caught in down pores and all the morons that were with me came back to the car with rust on their guns but not me. Remember the cheap skates that passed up Colt Pythons when they were only $260 bucks and now are 10 times that. There was getting to the point where I found I needed better but thats not how the first few years took off. Its that or the ruger American in 6.5. As i get older i am now back to 6,555 and 8x57IS and 308win when it come to calibers but that is more related to the hunting i do than the rifles .Love your tube videos and the fact that you have your own opinions an are not afraid to tell everyone about them. So if I review it and love my copy, Id be convincing people to buy one and they very likely may not have the same experience. What is your opinion on Gunwerks? Stock: AG Composites Alpine Hunter. 5. Gunwerks builds great guns, but I just dont see them as being THOUSANDS of dollars better than a Fierce, Weatherby, Seekins, etc. With them being two different price points, Id be interested in your thoughts on spending the extra amount on the waypoint. I love to hunt white tail deer in Arkansas. Base Price: $789.99: Tax: - In Stock: kygunco.com Buy. I would love to hear your thoughts on the savage impulse big game. He missed the entire point of the product to rant about what great deals can be had on old guns. The Tikka action is by far the best in this price point because it cycles ammo perfectly, has a silky smooth bolt slide and is manufactured to a high tolerance so every last one I pick up feels just as good as the one next to it. Non custom rifles are often a hit or miss affair. For my boy. Thanks. Ive shot it twice and didnt like it either time. I was considering the Sig Cross, but the safe selector issue concerns me. 2. have a metal finish at the trigger-guard, Its incredibly well built. I recently purchased the Momentum Elite in the 6.5 creedmoor and respectfully think an honourable mention for the under $1000 would be appropriate. I even bought one Mauser with a shot out barrel knowing it was shot out for $240 dollars complete with scope and had a local gunsmith rebarrel it for me and reblue the whole gun and I had only $600 in it. Trigger: 2-4 lbs, adjustable, single stage Italians know firearms and so do the Finns. Accuracy * * * * * Thanks for doing great work. I am looking to spend around $1200, and I am between the Savage ultralite and the Howa carbon kratos. I purchased a Stockys carbon stock for my Vanguard 6.5 PRC Meateater rifle and was able to shoot a suppressed 5 shot group at 100 yards that measured under 1/2 moa. Great deal. I havent tried the Rage yet, but I have used that same action and stock in different configurations. Never spent over $500 before. It tames the recoil of this 6.6-pound rifle extremely well. Great rifle. See also Gluck. So, if those ones should be avoided, what rifles SHOULD hunters consider? Jim, after watching the review of your Rival I wanted you to know I had the same problems with mine. There are quality inexpensive rifles being made, but if you step up into the $500-$1,000 price range, almost every option will shoot accurately and have more consistent quality control. Required fields are marked *. I\m in northern Arizona and hunt in everything from dense forest to open desert, shots rarely over 400 yards. x bolt is about 150 or more expensive. Ive got an old 700 that is a beautiful gun and was a great deal but Im taking the plastic stock Savage up in the tree this fall. I have monkey arms so a new stock is in the future for whatever rifle I choose another reason Im trying to keep the price down. It also really liked this 147 grain MEN stuff that I bought in bulk cheap some years ago basically just for semi-auto plinking use. I would like a 280 Ackley and Fierce only makes it in the Rival. I load for better, but what would you choose? Even on safe, the bolt can be manipulated to chamber or eject a round. I would love to hear you critique rifle makers that offer nothing left handed in their main lines. Ruger Americans are fantastic. $599.99. Its decent, but if you can possibly squeeze another $100 into your budget to get a version with Cerakote, get the CRKT version as itll be more durable in the woods. Im not the person I asked the question but I am also looking at one chambered and 308 and another shop down the road has a 30-06. Both have cold hammer forged barrels 2. Made in Italy? I found not too long ago a Husqvarna Mauser for $400 bucks in like new condition. Usage for the rifle would be long distance hobby shooting, but also potentially taking it on everything from whitetail up to moose for a hunt should I ever get in to the sport with my brothers and dad. Overall Length: 42.3 inches You havent included Winchester in your reviews. Hi Jim, It has become one of my favorite guns. I like the Sig Cross because its lightweight, easily adjustable to fit me or my kids, very accurate, and the short barrel and folding stock make it easily packable for hunts. The controlled-round feed action is great. I decided to go a different direction by changing out the barrel for a 20 inch Proof. Watch my review here. I really have enjoyed watching your YouTube channel and reading some of your articles on backfire! Its a Howa 1500 action in their own pretty cool stock. The barrel is cold hammer forged with rifling like the Sako (Tikka). What ammo are you shooting in your cross? Ive narrowed it down to a Sig Cross in 6.5, a JTAC Screech Owl in 6.5 22 barrel. I have found a lot of draw backs such as a cramped magazine box that when I tried to seat bullets out there was no room in the magazine to do so therefore I had excess bullet jump into the throat of the barrel, especially older barrels with slightly eroded throats and not being able to seat the bullet out sometimes does not give you the best accuracy. Likely sub-half-MOA. I agree! You mentioned the cheap filling stock. Whats your opinion one the tikka t3x upr vs the waypoint 2020? I cant say I love the idea of a polymer sling mount with a relatively thin wall to it, but its definitely more out-of-the-way than a protruding stud. In your opinion, is the Fierce worth the extra you pay or does the Springfield give you more value for the money you spend. The reason I am more interested in an AR instead of a bolt action is because: I would like to have an adjustable stock for hunting in multi layers of clothing and backpack straps, the need to adjust my length of pull is important. Seller: Ammo And Arms. I own 30-06, i own a 300 win mag , now never pull anything out but the 300 win mag , it is a Browning A bolt with the belly clip , has the sweet spot muzzle break ,that takes care of half of the recoil and have the Remington butt pad . I agree with you. Ive shot heavier .308s with more felt recoil than this guy. They seem to check a lot of the boxes Im looking in a rifle and seem to have a lot of bang for the buck for a rifle just over $500. I am looking for a 6.5 creedmoor bolt action hunting rifle for our place in north central west Texas. I am looking into ordering a 20 Super Sniper chambered in .308 and was curious to know if you have had any experience with it? Jim, So it is not a 700 rem action like the Bergara, So no MDT chassis at this time to match.

Im not sure why Bergarra and other premium manufacturers dont do this but Im sure theres a reason. All things equal Not sure what caliber you tested the bergara b14 ridge in but, I bought one from Scheels last year in 6.5 prc and it would scratch up the casings, and jam up on the last round. Thanks for the videos, they have been great! Im looking for a great elk rifle/big game in left handed. John did tell me that they are currently working on a fix for the extractor problem. The Momentum Elite comes with a detachable box-type magazine that holds three or four cartridges (depending on the caliber) for fast, safe and easy loading and unloading. The sub-$500 version of the CVA Cascade comes with just blued steel. Hi Jim Id love to hear your thoughts on a modern option like the Extreme Weather SS MB.
