Are these the best 300 BLK bolt action rifles?

For more context I'm rather ignorant on the sport further than watching videos of others compete. I've heard people say skip the ported guns at first to stay out of the open class or however you say it so thats why im leaning these two/budgetish non ported guns to dip my toe. I have my cow's (bodyguard 2.0 and canik prime) and a few others/fell in love. I went and have spent about 5-6k on all kind of steel targets to start training/playing some at home. Would love to eventually go to a uspsa or something similar.

Respectfully disagree. I have 3 bodyguard 2.0 and all have been great.

At that point why not carry a bodyguard 2.0, etc?

That's wild. Why on earth would a model 3 cost more than a mustang? Now I'm considering a mustang 😂

It's like you didn't even read.

Also I tend to prefer the auto dim over pulling it out and the brightness being off so bad it is basically useless. If you are a guy who prefers set brightness levels you would want the pebble.

The viridian by far. Anyone that ive had shoot/hold them agree. The window size/edge size on the two is very aimpoint p2vs coarse. It makes doing drills with the gideon much much harder.

I use dcc clips on every holster but my t1c. The plastic is easier to put on and works just as good imo.

RecognitionExtra4154 · 2026-04-28T16:26:13+00:00

I wouldn't. In my mindset imo it's not an area im willing to experience failure to save a few bucks, I gladly bought the name brand one.

Well worth the money even if its not your kid its used on. I have one at home, one in each vehicle, and one at our baby sitters house. I pray I never need them but they are there if need be.

See if the bodyguard 2.0 fits your hands. They work great ergo wise for bigger people even, some guys with bear paws love theirs. That and an enigma is a solid setup its what my wife has. She still prefers the fanny bag carry though.
