I'm looking to get a rifle for the wife to start shooting with me and ultimately go on a hunt someday. I'd also use the rifle in the future for my son(s). Have a 3 year old and another on the way. I'm pretty set on getting a 6.5 Creedmoor. My buddy has a Christensen Arms Mesa in 7mm Rem Mag and it is a very nice rifle. I have been considering getting one of those, but I'm not sure I want to spend $1200 on a rifle that is for my wife who may end up not using it very much. It's also a really nice rifle for a young hunter in the future, but is it too nice?
What rifles would you consider, more inexpensive rifles like the Ruger American Predator, Howa 1500, etc.?
I'm not worried about buying a cheaper rifle and spending money on glass. I already have a nice Leupold VX-3 to put on whatever I end up purchasing.
