There is one drawback to the Tikka T3x Lite. It appears that Fierce is stretching the truth a bit on weight because mine weighs 6 pounds, 4 1/8 oz and its a short action with 24 6.5mm barrel so it should be about the lightest one they have. Fancy for an affordable rifle, the Franchi Momentum sports a one-piece, fluted bolt. I like the reviews on the CVA but the Bergara is hard to beat, the Terrain Wilderness is the one Im leaning towards. Theres also no shortage of cartridges that send a 6.5mm bullet at much higher velocities than the Swede so I have to assume by your metric those are all superior to the Swede? Id go with the Sako in that case. I would like a 280 Ackley and Fierce only makes it in the Rival. Im looking for an elk rifle. What ammo are you shooting in your cross? Franchi Momentum All-Terrain Elite .308 Win 18" 1:11" Bbl TrueTimber Strata/Midnight Bronze 10+1 Rifle 41750. Vlad I have no idea who you are but you sure do make a lot of noise and a lot less sense. Caliber: .308 Winchester (available in five other calibers, too) Thanks! To wit: 1. Im really down to the Fierce Carbon Rival vs the Weatherby MarkV Backcountry. Jim, after watching the review of your Rival I wanted you to know I had the same problems with mine. But honestly these are not deal-breakers (or at least I think so). Everyone else says so but I figured Id ask. My experience as well Tim! Im surprised it didnt make the list. The trigger is heavy, but thats true on the Browning XBolts as well. I like the fact that you backed your reviews with a substantial reason for the review vs nothing to substantiate the review. The barrel is cold hammer forged with rifling like the Sako (Tikka). Franchi Momentum .308 Win Threaded 22" Bbl Htr Gry BA Rifle 41533. Barrett, AI, etc. Jim, Just how it shot when the time came. So, if those ones should be avoided, what rifles SHOULD hunters consider? Thanks for the content you put out! The only downsides I have read of it is its screw-on bolt-knob and the fact that you may need a few more tools to disassemble the rifle. There was getting to the point where I found I needed better but thats not how the first few years took off. Do you have any experience or thoughts on the JTAC? Push it flush with the inside of the trigger guard, and . You mention it just once in this string but dont come back to it at all. Looks to me like an Apples to Oranges request. Or is the lighter, cheaper, better looking cva more applicable? Keep them coming! The Weatherby Vanguard threaded, Bergara B14, and Howa Carbon Stalker are all models Im researching more to try to come to a definitive decision. Fit me like a glove.

I saw you also mentioned something coming at Shotshow but did not see if you talked about this yet. Seems that they manage to work loose occasionally. You mention that you felt the Browning X-Bolt Pro was not a good fit for a heavy recoil gun. In regards to the CVA and the Bergara, Im looking at getting one or the other in 7mm Mag. It tames the recoil of this 6.6-pound rifle extremely well. Its the classic , its The One , its stood the test of time , its been around longer than the rest and will still be here long after these other rifles have fallen out of fashion. Get one , in 30-06 for the purest experience , and youll be convinced ! One thing I always know I need in any rifle, hunting or range, is accuracy. I absolutely love the 2020 waypoint! Id pick the CVA Cascade from that group. Just hasnt been available. Interested in loading this cartridge. I love it. . . And a nice walnut stock would have cost them a few more pennies to use. 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. For the record the cheapest gun Ive ever owned is a TC compass in 6.5 Creedmoor and it has shot sub MOA with most factory offerings from day one and consistently shoots sub 1/2 moa with handloads. Hello Jim. NO, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control_in_Italy, F Franchi, and Baretta and their ilk. Which leaves Winchester, Weatherby, Tikka/Sako.

Am I wrong in my logic? What is your opinion on the Edge vs Rival? More velocity with the heavier bullets which by the way do not work so well in the 6.5 Creedmore. Along with the detail you put into your reviews of new ammo like the 6.5 and now 7 PRC. CVA all the way. I mean, I realize you use supersonic ammunition and would have liked to have heard how home-rolled subsonic ammo performed. Whats the pros and cons in your opinion?

I just took the first shots with the Winchester XPR in 6.8 Western today. Great choice in a gun. But 300 WinMag doesnt fit in an AR15 and 6.5 Swede doesnt fit in a short action. The more you talk the clearer it becomes that youve never held much less used a gun. I'll stick with my Tikkas, they make me happy!

The stock is among the best I have ever used, its reasonably lightweight, excellent on accuracy, and the manufacturing quality is reliable. As Im new to the shooting world Im still undecided on a long range target rifle. And although most of my center fires are Deluxe grade, the aforementioned still holds true.
