Shotgun-Sean Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I am in the market for a good quality .22/250 for under a £1000 and that has got to include sound moderator and scope. come on guys i will be interested to see what you think i am interested in the Browning A-bolt with a thumb hole stock Also what moderator i dont really want a T8 they have a bit to much of a ring to them i will also be interested to see what you reccomend on the scope front too Cheers sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Are you thinking new or used? Personally I would consider both, but if your pretty new to rifles only buy used from a reputable dealer with a warrenty. :blink: Personally I think your thinking along the right lines though. The Browning A-Bolt is a well proven solid reliable accurate gun with plently of experience/dealer backup. It's crucially in the right area price wise too (althouhg must admit not too sure on the price of the thumbhole versions). If it were my money I would be looking to spend <£600 on a rifle, ~£200 on a mod and ~£300-£350 on a scope (that part would normally be higher but what with the $:£ rate Leupolds are very good value at present, alternatively buy a used scope :blink:). Another option though - just had a quick search on guntrader - there is a Sako 75 stainless sythentic in Somerset 'nearly new' for £530 - I would go buy it I were you. :blink: Edited February 2, 2008 by Oly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun-Sean Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 thanks for the reply Oly i decided on a Winchester model 70 coyote lite in .22/250 which cot me £570 (new) and a good quality banner 4200 scope which was £350 new i am well chuffed with my purchases but thanks for the input the reason i decided against the A-bolt was its weight bloody heavy :blink: cheers sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 No worries mate, many people rate the Winchester too - should outshoot/last you too! So long as your happy that's half the battle :blink: Some of us like the heavy stuff, but each to their own! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
