I saw your other videos where you had accuracy woes. Did you have to do any pre-use maintenance for this one to work for you? I was looking at getting one for long range and some hunting (stalking in the Midwest) and these look like a decent package since my options as a southpaw are pretty terrible.
The HMR doesn’t seem to suffer the same bedding issues with the sloppy recoil lug as the wilderness terrain. I think at this point we’ve fired 40 or so rounds through it and it groups really well with no fliers. My only critique would be the weight, I think there might be some better options for hunting. Tikka and Weatherby both put out quite a few left hand models and you can’t argue with the accuracy. Another budget friendly option might be RA gen 2 or Savage 110. If you’re primarily bench shooting with the occasional hunt the HMR is a great choice depending on your fitness level 😜
@@khalidjaii2 it is a fantastic rifle but for walking through the woods I would say there are better options, less expensive rifle that are very accurate and more suited to hunting. If you’re going big game (deer) 6.5 creedmoor is a great cartridge. It really depends on the area you’re going to hunt (ranges you’ll shoot) is it open or closed. The Tikka lite is a great rifle, Savage 110 as well as Ruger American. Hunting is a fantastic tradition you’ll love it.
nice detailed review. looking forward to getting mine soon. 😁
It’s a nice firearm, you can’t beat the price for what you get.
Thanks 😁

Is it too heavy for hunting?
I want to get into hunting. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
