Hey everybody,
I'm looking at buying a rifle "Im dead broke so it will be in a few months Im thinking" and have it cut down to 3 choices I believe. I have been racking my brain reading the history and features of brands, types, actions, ect. These are the 3 Im looking at for my first ever rifle "Which I plan to use for large game hunting, targeting, and defending our country/constituion from envasion/marshal law". I am pretty dead set on 30-06, bolt action, center fire rifles. These are the 3 I was looking at, and in order of what I THINK I want/need.
1. Remington 700 SPS Tactical ....... 30-06 = $550.00
2. Winchester Model 70 Ultimate Shadow ....... 30-06 = $749.00
3. Stevens Model 200 ........ 30-06 = $339.65
I would prefer a heavier rifle for the low recoil. I wouldnt mind carrying a heavy rifle through West Texas. It needs to have a long range and a punch to it "Think Oaudad". I would want a longer barrel for the accuracy. Lastly, being this is my first and only for a long time to come, "Im lower class income wise... if even that high ", I need a rifle that can stand the test of time and be used for many purposes.
QUESTION:
1. Am I right to choose the Remington out of these 3 for my needs?
2. Is the extra $200 dollars per rifle going to be noticabley an upgrade?
3. Are there any major faults you people would have against any of these guns?
Thanks for any responses ahead of time and God bless those of you who are Oath Keepers!
