Thanks fellas! Any input on a Montana Rifle Company X3 extreme? Seem to lefty friendly and seemingly can get into one for about the same price as a Tikka T3x after I replace the plastic stock on the T3. Cheers

Mach, What do most folks hunt with up in your parts?

^^ Always wanted one, but being lefty, would probably be a custom or a rebarrel

Thanks all for the excellent advice. I agree with some of the posters that a 6.5 Creed would get the job done, but I'm also itching for a new rifle. Have it narrowed down to a 7mm mag or a 30-06. Probably will pick up whichever one I can find a better deal on. Also, for the larger bore guys...

^^ jmr, if I'm hearing you correctly, I would not really gain anything by getting a bigger cartridge over the Creedmoor...maybe a 308/30-06? If that's the case, I'll save my cash and invest in better binoculars.

Cost of rifle would be somewhere at/around $700 if it needs a new stock (plastic stock would turn into manners). If it already has a carbon fiber stock...somewhere around $1,200. But, I'm a lefty...so it could complicate things.

Hey all, I am wanting to purchase a new rifle for no other reason that I want one. I currently have a Tikka T3x 22-250 (1-8")...great rifle for range work, yotes, Texas whitetail, and Pronghorn Tikka T3x 6.5 Creed...great rifle for all the above and throw in mule deer and hogs CZ 22lr CZ 17HMR...

Doc7 I already have an x2 and love it.

If I get a 7mm something, the 300 win mag (or) 300 wsm could always be another excuse to get another rifle.

Hello all, Currently, I've got a 257 Weatherby and it does everything I need it do in Texas, but am wanting a new rifle for no other reason than I want one. The new rifle will also be used for Texas hunting (WT, mule deer, pronghorn, and pigs), but hopefully one day go on a elk hunt. I'm...

Thanks for the reply's fellas. Looks like it might be down to a 75B matte stainless or the 85B black. Outside of the difference in finish is there a difference between the two?

Is the 75B matte stainless worth the extra cheese over say a 85B?

Hey guys, I've been searching the forum and found a wealth of information, but alas my head is spinning. Which of the following CZ models come with ambi safety? I'd prefer a 9mm with the baked on black finish CZ 75B CZ 75B Omega CZ 75B SA CZ 85B Note: I am right handed but shoot long guns...

Looks like it's the 280ai or the 35 Whelen. Decisions, decisions...

Hey guys, I'm falling in love with custom rifles. I've got a 257 Bob that will do everything I need it to do...I only in hunt in Texas and Arkansas for deer and pigs. Having said that, I would still love another rifle. I'd like one that could suffice for elk hunting (probably will never happen...
