New Bolt Action Rifle Recommendations
I prefer the browning x bolt 2 with the adjustable comb and adjustable length.of pull. Not much for aftermarket support though if you want to tinker with it. If you want something to tinker with and customize I'd say go with a Tikka t3x .- elkfanatic

My fourteen year old just got a calf that had three bullet wounds from a couple days earlier and we didn't know it till we started skinning. One thru the...- elkfanatic
