I finally won a gun

[tikkalover]

After eons of banquets and buying raffle tickets I finally won a rifle.

A Bergara-Wilderness-Sierra-bolt-action-rifle

I am not a gun nut like some of you on here.

I already own a 270WSM and a 300WSM in a Tikka of course.

I have the option of this gun or any other brand, in the same price range as the Bergara and in any caliber that I want.

Thinking of joining the man bun crowd and getting this in a 6.5 Creedmoor or PRC.

Is this a good idea or a bad one?

If it's a bad one what brand and caliber would you choose?

Thanks

To me you don't own a Varmint/Predator cartridge. I would get a 223 or 22-250. And if you don't reload every sporting good store have shells for you.

You already have Deer, Elk and Moose covered with the rifles you do have.

6mm arc or 7mm-08. As far as being most universal and easily available ammo I'd say 6.5cm, 243 or 22-250. I'm kinda biased towards calibers used for both coyotes and deer myself but do love a good "drive around" caliber.

Dont know if available but a 6 creed or fast twist 223 would be my choices

Get it in a 22-250! I believe they have a 9 twist so if you hand load it'll take 75ish grain bullets!

I think it comes in 6 creed as well. The slightly better little brother of the 6.5 creed

Or….get something that fits a grandchild and pass it on to them

 

[Jiffy]

243….and that’s an easy decision.

F%$k anything creed.

22_250 is what you need. You got everything else covered.

Or a good shotgun.
