Hunting Rifle recommendations

[Moose242]

I am very picky with my hunting rifles and there are a number of "musts" I require:


-One piece steel bolt for strength and durability
-Cocks on opening the bolt to take advantage of the superior leverage
-One piece firing pin for strength and positive ignition
-Recoil lug integral with (machined as part of) the receiver
-Design that routes explosion away from face in the event of a rupture
-Hinged magazine floorplate.
-Large loading/ejection port that facilitates loading cartridges from the top
-Short bolt rotation (less than 90 degrees)
-Full length (Mauser style) extractor for controlled feeding
-Convenient, external bolt release (not the trigger!)
-Three position safety


Check out the Ruger M77s and the Kimbers.

I like the model 70. And the browning X bolt.

So, grew up using and shooting my dad's Remington .270, so kinda partial to that, but I figure it's about time to get my own.

Any favorites and recommendations? Looking for deer mainly, bolt action, magazine fed (3-4 rounds), and with glass, trying to target $800 or less.

Just wants y'all thoughts to start mulling over.
