Any bolt-action fans?

I'm looking for a mid-range bolt gun that shoots impressively at 400 yards. What’s your must-have for deer hunting? Any lesser-known picks that you’d recommend?

Honestly, if you want a gun that's really good at 400 you're gonna have to spend some money. If you buy a Savage Axis it'll be a crap shoot whether or not it shoots that well. If it were up to me I'd probably get a Tikka or a Weatherby.

The honest truth is that under field conditions most of us have no business shooting 400 yards at a deer anyway. Get closer...

Hard to beat a Tikka for mid range price gun. Many cartridges will work on deer at four hundred and in. Question is, Can the shooter get the shot placement to do the job.
