Thanks everyone for your thoughts in the help me choose thread.
https://www.texasguntalk.com/threads/help-me-choose-my-next-upgrade.89873/
Y’all decided that I would be getting a new platform to help me achieve my goal of being a more precise shooter. In the original thread, there were many suggestions and good thoughts brought forward, and those thoughts allowed me to more deeply evaluate what is I’m trying to achieve and what can help me with that.
Y’all suggested everything from mass-produced Savage MkIIs to Olympic caliber Anschutz Biathlons in everything from 22LR to 17WSM. That’s a pretty broad spectrum; I’ve been mining Rimfire Central to add to my knowledge base as well.
This thread is all about the next platform. I’ll set the good idea fairy cutoff date as Feb 15; that gives us three weeks to work through this thought process. The following week, I will be buying or ordering the platform.
Before everyone starts spending my money, the first thing we need to cover is budget. Right now, I can afford $1,000 all-in, except ammunition. That’s gun, accessories, optics, etc. Accept it, it is what it is.
For that price, I’m not tied to buying brand new. I’d rather buy a separate action, barrel, stock, etc., than buy an all-in-one box and piece out all the unused parts.
Other than that, the world is my oyster. So let’s hear your thoughts. If you’re going to recommend a specific gun, I’d like to know if you own one or have owned one. Even better if you can post a pic of a 50yd target you shot with it.
Fights on.
