I was thinking along the same train of thought. Going to try and convince him to buy this one:Bergara Rifle B-14 HMR Wilderness 308
There’s a purpose for those rifles. Very modular for bipods, weights, bags, slings mounts, rear monopod, rear bag, lop spacers, cheek riser,( lights lasers j/k). Having the features of a modern rifle and supreme accuracy is appealing for prs and elr. I’d agree on the point that these things can start looking Star Trek phaser rifles after a certain amount of shit on there.I mentioned an AR10 as I don’t understand the “cool” of a bolt action that looks like an AR. I think for hogs the semi automatic is better for fast followup. But to each his own. That Cabela Savage deal looks good.
