If you had $2500 for an Alberta hunting rifle...
If you had $2500 for a single rifle to hunt Alberta with what would it be. No optics. Just a rifle for Alberta hunting that comes in under $2500. Doesn't have to be practical. Just something you like. The only catch is you have to give a link to the rifle.
I don't have $2500 burning a hole in my pocket, but if I did this is the one I'd be ordering in the morning... https://store.prophetriver.com/sako-...1a-s-n-p10450/ Not so nice you'd be scared to drag it through the bush, but nice enough for the boys to look at it and say "damn!" This is just a timekiller of a thread, written solely out of curiosity to see what other guys like. That's all. |
This would be a great start for a classy vintage Alberta all-rounder

You can get a great used rifle, close to what your after for far less than $2500.00. Don’t throw your cash away!!

Nice rifle, but $2400 is getting up there for a factory rifle.

So I would say, Weatherby markV, sako with really nice wood, and for cal??
Non mag 30-06 , and a mag would be. 338 win mag |
For $2500 I would probably pick up a Bergara Highlander in .280AI for 500-750$ less than the $2500. (USA MSRP is $1850)
Unfortunately in Alberta I couldn't bring my suppressor so I'll just stay here in Montana and Wyoming. lol https://www.bergara.online/us/rifles...hlander-rifle/ |
Easy!
Mannlicher schoenauer 1950-53, full stock carbine with DST, iron sights and Claw mounts in 7x64.
And I'm done! One of the best rifles ever made and cash to spare. Brad |
A Sako 85 Bavarian
https://www.sako.fi/rifles/sako-85/85-bavarian A Sako Grey Wolf https://www.sako.fi/rifles/sako-85/8...ated-stainless Or a Kimber 84L Classic Stainless Select (it’s discontinued but maybe I can find a nice used example someday. I once had one in .280 AI but unfortunately I had to sell it) https://www.ableammo.com/catalog/kim...-p-127244.html Or even a Winchester Super Grade Stainless; I wished they existed going back a number of years and then found out they came around to making them a year or two ago. http://www.winchesterguns.com/produc...stainless.html Of course any of these would be chambered in .30-06 |

I honestly don’t think I have a rifle younger than fifty years old, and I cannot think of a new off-the-rack rifle that I’d spend that kind of money on.
I’d probably track down another really nice commercial FN or L61R SAKO. |

It’s slightly above the limit, but this has been on my mind all year

I'd run with the one I had built last month... It ain't the diamond rifle, but it ain't no lump of coal either. Smooth LH bolt and deadly accurate... 👍 |

A new Model 70 extreme weather in 30-06. Then spend the rest of the budget on the optics. |
A new production Winchester M70 Featherweight 270 Win topped with a Leupold 6x42...save the rest of the money.

I would buy these. I know someone selling the package deal with less than 2 boxes of ammo through it for $2500 plus 10 boxes of factory ammo
