So, current I’m on a kick for a short lightweight rifle for use with a suppressor in 30-06. In looking for this rifle two totally different packages came to mind. A tikka T3x veil wideland and Blaser R8. There is one problem… I’m left handed and refuse to bow to the “just reach over the top” crowd. The t3x veil wideland in 30-06 20” barrel isn’t currently imported into the USA so that would be a custom barrel or wait and see if they change in January.
The R8… top dog guns global has a very nice carbon fiber stock for the R8 jaeger action. Does anyone have one of these? The jaeger receiver and carbon fiber stocks are significantly more expensive than the professional style action and stock. Also for the 30-06 has anyone used blasers 20” barrel? I would really be keen on a fluted and threaded one but they’re crazy expensive.
I know this sounds crazy but I really don’t want a 308 Winchester. Even in a short barrel the 30-06 still has a speed advantage. What do you guys think? Left hand, light weight, 30-06, suppressor, do-it-all rifle.
