National match High Master, top 3% w/Grand and Springfield at Perry, oh the glory days! Those days have passed and because of nerve damage from surgery I can no longer get into position and even shooting at the bench can be a challenge sometimes. I can’t believe this happened to me in my prime (65 LOL). I would like to find something in 223 since I have enough components to last a lifetime. I want to shoot off the bench to 300 yards and offhand when I can. I don’t enjoy shooting something that isn’t very accurate so I’m not sure a “hunter” profile barrel will do. I would prefer something with nice wood if possible, I know laminate or a polymer stock would be more stable but I don’t like the looks but I do want it free floated. I have been intrigued with the idea of owning a Tikka or Sako but Im hoping to keep it around $2500. I know Savages can be accurate out of the box but want something a bit more refined. Am I being unreasonable or am I looking for a unicorn? I respect the opinion of the experts here and wonder what you think.
Thank you for your time reading this long post.
