I'm looking for a bolt gun probably in .308... maybe 6.5 CM.
- hunting everything up to elk from 300-400 yds
- -ringing steel 500-800 yds
-SHTF (concerned about 6.5 availability)
- $500-$750 budget
Considering Mossberg Patriot, Ruger American, Savage, etc

Sure it is a little bit heavy, and most of the meat is pre-cooked burger or chunked for stew, but you never have to argue with anyone else about whose shot was the kill shot.

Looks big enough to take out a squirrel from Michigan.

SHTF its hard to beat the availability of .308. Everything else, 6.5CM rules. Out passed 1,000m it still rocks. I have a Savage LRP and an AR in 6.5 and you can buy ammo almost anywhere. Never been anywhere I couldn't find it.

Any idea on price comparison? I can look it up, but if you have in the store experience...

About $30 for a box of 20 for either one. 6.5 has come down now that lots of companies are making ammo for it now.
