And another thing! (ask and ye shall receive John.)
So, apparently i'm going through mid-life crisis. getting all rootsy...back to nature. well...full disclosure, i was married with child at 19...so not much time...until now.
wow. that was a long winded intro...and i haven't even said anything yet. ahem....
so, i've been wanting to hunt all my life. never have. talked about it since i was knee high to a june bug. never have. well... guess what? i got a good buddy up here that is willing to take me out. he does duck, partridge and deer and asks me what i want to do...of course my response is..."all of it."
with that said, i have been trying to learn about hunting as well. finished my hunter ed course a month or so ago. looking for a deer rifle. think i have narrowed it down to a .270 Win. and more specifically, i really like what i'm seeing/hearing with the Tikka T3 (or the previous Tikka M695) or the Browning X-Bolt. the browning is a bit pricier.
it's tough because i haven't shot any of them. kinda like knife shopping. sometimes you don't know what you got until you get it.
and bingo. that's where y'all come in. Tikka or Browning? Or, other? i know this is a loaded question. mostly, it all comes down to preference. so, if you don't have any experience with the tikka or browning, then give me your preference.
thanks.
