I've been looking at and watching drillings for a year or two now, and would like to get the opinions of those of you that are knowledgeable and familiar with drillings, as I am not.
I'm looking for something definitely under 5k and preferably 2 or under. This will be a gun that sees quite a bit of use. I am very unfamiliar with the different makers and would like to know a couple that offer good quality at a decent price. It goes without saying that I am NOT looking for a new gun.
My thought is to use the gun primarily while black bear/wild hog/deer hunting where in many cases I encounter grouse and vice versa. Assuming that it will be a European gun with a European chambering this leads me to my next question - What rifle chambering is most desirable for the game described above?
Again, I am looking for a shooter that is well balanced, comparatively light/easy to carry, offers good quality and nice lines. I appreciate input that any of you can offer and I'm sure I've neglected to mention some details so I'll fill those in as they come up.
