If he just wants an ordinary rifle to go stalking with he ought to try a Blaser.

A rebarrle is a very good option you can get what you like ,when i rebarel mine one day i will go for 7mm08 best of both thenHello,
Mark is after a new stalking rifle to replace his 15 year old Sako. He is after a heavy barreled one. So could you please recommend some accurate stalking rifles in .308.
Thanks,
Oscar
surely that needs bedding
I agree I put up two pics of what i thought was good shooting on a tagget at 100yrs but apprantly my riffle needs to be beddid and i should be shooting 10 lots of 5 groups to look for pattens in the groups eg if theres any flyers making there own groups .I think unless you can put 5 shots though the same hole your gun is rubbish and you cant shoot ,My Sako 85 (Heavy Varmint Stainless) is super accurate but (calibre aside) is not what I would call a stalking rifle. In the varmint format, it lends itself to be shot off the bipod or off the car bonnet. I wouldn't want to carry it around all day! Rabbits at 250m are a trivial exercise and quite fun. (I realise that this is nothing compared to the antics of some guys off here.)
I am left wondering what is meant by accurate? Surely off-hand or supported by sticks in a stalking scenario the limit on accuracy is going to be the shooter, not the gun.to try and keep on thread get what ever you like but what ever you do do not put it on here or you will never be happy with what you are doing i am starting to wonder about the people on here
regards
Ian
Whats a Blaser???
A make of rifle that comes with out of the box accuracy without having to do all that special fine tuning stuff with aftermarket bits that some other makes seem to need.
