[QUOTE="mooretitan, post: 990689, member: 79147"] I have a buddy who is looking to set his kid up with a rifle for Christmas. He is wanting to keep everything under a $1000. I told him I would research a little. I like nice guns so I started looking at some of the new model 700s and they ran between $700-$900 which would leave little room for a nice scope. Looked at a few savages and they run a little less unless I went with something cheap like an axis. But like I said I like the look of a nice gun and an axis just dosent cut it. I also looked through my safe and remembered a savage model 110 in 300 win mag that I was going to do another build off. I was thinking of maybe up grading the stock $200, new trigger $100, action $400 (my cost) and $300 for a scope. I would have to hope that the factory barrel and shoot moa. It's a base savage hunter 10. No accu trigger or accu stock. I have another 300 so might go out and see what it does before I make any upgrades. So my questions 1. Any guns with scope for a $1000 would you suggest 2. What caliber(mostly pigs and deer) 3. Has to shoot factory ammo well 4. Would a 300 win mag be to much for a 14 year boy. He is pretty tough but hasn't shot much 5. What's the chances that my savage barrel can shoot moa being the lowest price savage you can get 6. Can I make it happen for a $1000 with a build scope included??? So for the long post I know this is propably the only rifle he is going to get and want to set him up with something nice Thanks [/QUOTE]
