Its on my list. My buddy has one already so I'm not in a rush. Looking a tikka though. Lol

u/PepperAndFrens 27d ago

Tikka t3x or bergara b14hmr for bolt gun. Get a 308, versatile round, cheaper than 270win and 3006

u/Even-Somewhere-9554 27d ago

A tikka is great. If you are into target shooting only, a bergara B14 HMr in 6.5 creedmoor

100%. I built mine out for an extra 1k (lpvo, chassis, some mags, bolt mod, camo job, etc) and would do it 10 times over before buying a 2500$ rifle like the backland or Makasi.

Thats not to say I wouldn't like a 556 but I cant justify spending 3500 to 4k on a rifle that would cost 1500 in the states.

Grab a few spam cans and have good time.

Building a gun isnt even something ive thought of. Any advice or where I would buy "parts"?

u/PepperAndFrens 27d ago

By built i dont mean buying each part and assembling one, I got a brand new french tickler sks for 600, and a big list of mods to it, whole thing for less than 2k said and done with about 1k rounds. I can send you a Pic if you want

u/ShadyKilla013 27d ago

Yeah please! I would love to see it

if you're looking to build though, then you might want to look at 10/22. you can build an entire 10/22 without using any Ruger components (although the 2026 update models are now an actual solid base to start from).

u/ShadyKilla013 27d ago

You have any recommendations? Haven't done much research on them yet

u/SierraRomeoJuliet 27d ago

Chinese and russian are pretty much on par quality wise. Allegedly the Chinese are slightly more accurate but the Russians have nicer wood. All in all theyre a 2-3 moa gun, theyre designed for war not precision. Only thing id say is make sure you buy a chrome lined one, helps prevent fouling in the barrel from corrosive ammo. All Chinese are chrome lined, and Russia started chrome lining their barrels in 1951. So I'd go 1952 or later.
