I got a phone call from a friend today asking about a couple rifles for hunting (deer hunting). His old gun is 30 years old and it is a 7MM. He wanted a different caliber and I suggested the 6.5 CM which is the same caliber the guy at the gun store told him. Most shots in GA will be with in 150 yards.
They showed him a Christensen Arms with a carbon barrel and a Bergara. He asked which one was better and what other would I suggest.
My reply (not a hunter) was that what you are wanting to do with the rifle either would work well as would a Tikka. I really do not see the advantage for the price of a carbon barrel on the CA rifle. If he was carring the gun for miles maybe. Also I said was the difference in the CA and the others put in a better scope and mount.
Is there any others (I know about the Savage that I like) that you would suggest for DEER hunting?
Also, for the crazy question is what scope you a DEER hunter like on the rifle. I also told him the saving between the CA and the others he could buy a can for the gun.
