[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 3037029, member: 29765"] I'd also recommend a Savage 110/116 for a cheap rifle, not sure I'd go lower quality than that. I've had really good luck with them. I'd look for something on consignment/used gun racks. You can usually find them in the $400 range nowadays. I've picked them up for as low as $300 and they've always been good shooters. I don't think I'd pay more than about $420 for one on a used rack though. That's what I'd be looking for. I've almost bought a few when I've had ideas of building a 280 AI. I still kinda look but, I have too many projects on the board as it is. Some of them I just don't like the feel of, the Ruger Americans I've felt were kinda gritty and sloppy, but they are cheap. Mossbergs feel the same. Winchester XPRs are close to that, very similarly are the Browning AB3s. Some of the cheap rifles just feel really cheap, and I'm not a fan of that. Edit to add: if you get a used one, try to find a round-back top bolt release model. If you can’t find a top, a bottom release will be fine. It’s easier to find bases and stocks for round receivers and easier to find stocks for top bolts releases. [/QUOTE]
