also thinking about a new rifle
Been thinking about a replacement for my Parker Hale Midland 30.06. I got it three and a bit years ago, used (of course) and not in bad condition. It's been ok for me, taken a couple of deer (one shot each).
Want something a bit more manageable (lighter weight, less recoil). Been thinking about .243 or 25.06, and after reading much of the above, and getting other good advice, I'm leaning toward the 25.06.
Couple of questions. I'm thinking of getting a Tikka (looked at them in P&D and like the look and feel, also like Finnish products, and Tikka less $ than Sako). See from above some good comments from Tikka owners - but need to ask - any problems with them?
Also, for the 25.06 guys out there, what do you shoot for deer, bullet-wise?
