What are we doing with these rifles?

Hunting

I hav #1 - 2 &6

Like all 3 - Remington 700 270, Tika t3 in 2506 and the b-14 in 308 - really like all of them - the 270 May b my fav but the 308 is new and too early to judge - like the 270 bettr than 2506

#5 Winchester Model 70. IF you can find a Supergrade its worth the extra 400 - 500 dollars.. IMO by far the nicest of those on that list.

If I was buying used it would be no 1 or 5
If I was buying new Id be looking at 6 and 2

I assume you do not trust the new Remington

Tikka

Out of that list, the X bolt if my favorite, but there are a lot of things that I would factor into my decision, how much are you willing to spend, are you looking for pretty (walnut and blued), harsh elements (stainless and composite)or lightweight (carbon fiber and ceracote). Winchester 70 is another fine choice, it would be hard to beat a classic 70 lightweight in 270 (the jack O'Connor special) Tikka is a hard to beat value with an silky action, but it carries like a 2x4 IMO. the stock is so chunky around the action and it has that ugly magazine poking out the bottom. Rem 700 is another classic, but I haven't seen or heard much about the new ones coming out. It's not on your list, but the selection of rifles from Kimber have always been high on my list, good build quality, lightweight and they carry great.

Tikka

Tikka

A lot of people can't get over a few sour years...

Tilka t3x

Tough one.id be nervous of the Remington 700. Tikka probably most consistent followed by bergara browning,weatherby and Winchester.although I here the new Winchesters have good barrels.
For looks Winchester and for accuracy Tikka but dang a x-bolt is very sleek and slender good shooters.
Bergara seems boring to me but supposed to be great rifles
I'd buy all of em...

I'd gamble on a Kimber hunter in that price range also

#2 then have to agree ^ kimber would be my second choice followed by browning x-bolt

A few? They made garbage for 2 decades.

There's nothing "wrong" with any of the choices given. I'd pick the Ruger American or Savage 110 series and win the race to the bottom. And yes I'd like to see the new Remington be successful.

The Weatherby. Never seen one that wouldn't shoot. My favorite though is a Kimber right now, but its above the price point of those.

Fierce.

Thanks for all the posts guys. Looks like Tikka is winning so far. I actually have the Tikka T3X in 6.5 cm and it shoots well at the range but haven't shot a deer with it yet. I also have the Bergara in .308 and dropped a few deer where they stood last year. I will be buying a new rifle next year because I just want one. I will probably lean more towards the pretty side since all of my guns are composite work horses. With that said I think the X-Bolt medallion may be my choice. Just not sure what caliber. I have no need for long action and not very accurate with them anyway so I may just go with another .308 unless someone has a different opinion.

You gonna donate to the cause?

hard to beat a 308 but if you already got one in a turn bolt then spice it up man ! The Medallion is a great gun no doubt. But if Purdy is what your after, you won't beat a Winchester Model 70 especially in the Supergrade. They are FINE. I ought to be horse whipped for selling my 6.5 Creed Supergrade. I've never seen prettier wood on a rifle costing 10 times that. The Walnut blanks of that grade alone run over what that gun cost. Deep bluing, fine, fine rifle. But locating one in a short action is hard. I've been looking.

Brand new? Tikka

I own 700s and Montanas. Have had 70s and Bergaras. Nothing bad in your list…..just think new value is better for the Tikka…..but I’d own any of them again….along with Howas, Rugers, and some others. Just glad Savage wasn’t in the same sentence with the others. For ‘pretty’, it’s hard to beat 70s with good wood.

Ben if you want a short action but want to mix it up a little, look into a .338 federal or a .358 Winchester. They are off the path a little but do not disappoint.

An x-bolt medallion in 308 would be super sweet
Winchester model 70 featherweight are beautiful as another blued wood option
X bolt medallions are beautiful so definitely a good choice

LOL ....if you say so scooter.

Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 270. Nothing else even comes close for the price.

Tikka T3X, then Bergara

For #7, assuming we're doing factory rifles, it would be a Sako 85 classic in 270win.

I like my Bergara bettr than the tikka I hav - trigger bettr and bolt smoothness better

The 2506 tikka kicks less than my 308 Bergara but the 308 don’t kick hard

The only head to head review I watched online gave weatherby the nod over about 8 other rifles including Tikka and Bergara - never owned a weatherby. The second place winner was the Bergara followed by a close Tikka. The 70 r browning were not in that competition

I have a maple 308. It's beautiful. Looking for a walnut with the right grain like my 6.5 had.

Tikka from your list.

You could look at an older Steyr, beautiful wood, some with low prices on gun broker.
