Hey guys,
I've been itching for a new rifle lately and would like your opinions, since I kinda don't know what I want except I want something "different."
I’m looking for a rifle that isn’t super common, but then again, not a complete oddity that I won’t be able to find loading dies for. This “not-too-common” requirement mostly applies to the CARTRIDGE, not the manufacturer. In other words a .308 made by Toluvenderovski (made up name) isn’t what I’m after, but a 9.4x46mm (made up ”uncommon” cartridge) by Remington IS the kind of thing I’m looking for. Like I said, I’m just looking for something "different". I’m pretty sure that I want a bolt action (though, I guess I could be swayed on other actions). I don’t need to stay under a certain price, but I don’t really want to spend a fortune either. ($600-$2K is a good range).
Just for some backstory—I’ve shot all sorts of .223, .308, 30-06, 30-30, etc. Also, I shoot a Rem 700 .270 that I really love to shoot and therefore shoot this one the most. It’s really accurate and gives me just enough kick to know I’m shooting a “real” rifle, etc. So, I’d probably want something not TOO similar to the .270. The key is to try something NEW and exciting.
I just thought it’d be fun to let someone else decide my next rifle purchase—just for the heck of it. Thanks for your help!
