The brand new Mauser M98 rifles are “pricey”. The new Rigby Highland Stalker in .30-06 beside the Mauser was $10K.Originally Posted by Borderland
After handling those rifles the Sako, Tikka and Bergara rifles seemed quite reasonable at $1,000 to $3,000.
The Bergara HMR looks really cool. Bridges the precision/hunter gap but it’s 9.5lbs.
Sako A7 vs Bergara Wilderness Ridge

Winchester Model 70 has a three position wing safety on the bolt that locks/blocks the firing pin except when in fire position. The mid position allows for cycling the bolt on safe with a firing pin that cannot hit a primer. Other systems may not allow for the same, even if they are three position.Not sure what the function of a 3 position safety is. Does it allow working the bolt in safe mode? I probably knew at one time.
That point can start some fights on hunting forums almost as quickly as “does CRF matter?”
Just learned the sako has a separate button to allow it.
I saw this at Kygunco while looking for something else: CZ 557 Sporter in 30-06 with a Manners EHS stock (carbon fiber). Its barrel is a little shorter than usual at 20.5 inches. It weighs 6.5 lbs so you can put a heavy ass scope and still be under 8 lbs. You'll kill anything in the CONUS within 400 yards with this. It is blued which may be a deal killer. It is just over your $1000 budget but shipping is free and they don't collect sales tax. A Manners stock ala carte is around $700.
That’s pretty bad ass. Blue. Hmmm. Idk. Like the looks but...
I was trying to avoid blued and if I don’t adhere to my budget it’ll get ugly for me.

Thoughts? Experience?
If one were dumb enough to go further like $1200, how about Christiansen? Or anything else that $1000 is so close to but not getting there?
Or is $1000 starting to hit the point of diminishing returns?
