So here are my next questions:
A: Which bolt action rifle offers the “Best Bang for the Buck”?
I would sacrifice money before accuracy.
The preferred chambering will be in 7mm Remington Magnum.
Projected maximum range (to be used on elk/mule deer) 500 yards with an eye on maintaining a maximum six inch group.
B: Is it realistic to believe a less expensive platform will provide this type of accuracy?
