Affordable European Style Stalking Rifle?
01/02/09 10:52 PM

I’m thinking about a European style stalking rifle. Break action, light weight, preferably in a rimmed cartridge like 7x65R or 8x57JRS. I’d love a Merkel K-1, but I think they’re probably a bit steep. What do they cost new, in the US, now in the calibers I named?

How good a rifle was the now out of production Thompson Center TCR-83 and TCR-87 Aristocrat? Is anyone still making barrels for them? Good enough to be worth looking for? About what would an Aristocrat cost in nice shape these days?

How about the BRNO Effect? Are they going to be offered in the U.S.? How much do they cost? How do they compare to the Merkel? How do they compare to the TCR Aristocrat?

Any other suggestions?

I’d probably top it with something like a Leupold 1.75-6x32.
