Considering the state you live in I would be reluctant to buy an over the counter firearm. Is there any online local forums or sites that have used guns for sale. We have 2 here in Alaska. I would look for a face to face sale for a used gun.

Maybe at a target for the creedmoor. Not a long range hunting caliber by my standards. 6.5 prc for long range hunting on medium game is a good starting point.

Ruger American or Ruger American Predator. Both shoot great and topped with nice scopes they hit where you aim. No kick to speak of either.

It was a long time coming and considerable mulling over but I finally pulled the trigger.

It didn’t help having folks coming to use the range. smile

Tikka.

Remington if produced pre-1993 before the sale to investment bankers. You may still find a good one until 2000, but be careful.

I've explained this more than once on the forum. I spent most of my working life at Remington and have previously suggested on here NOT to buy any new Remington.

Quality was going slowly down hill on a continuous basis after the initial sale to Clayton-Dubllier and Rice.. Only got worse after the second sale to the second investment company.

There, that's my last warning.
