[QUOTE="Gundog74, post: 2500395, member: 118969"] I'm probably going to tick off some guys but I'll give you something to think on. From my experience more expensive rifles DO NOT mean you are getting better rifles. In the past before I was able to buy nice toys I had a lot of cheaper rifles (Savage). Shot good outta the box and have lasted many years..... Still got em shoot em love em..... In the last 5 years or so I have been lucky enough to afford some nicer toys. I first bought a Benelli shotgun SBE3.... Had to send it back, factory flaw, but they did fix it. Next I bought a Weatherby Accumark, I have shot literally thousands of dollars of ammo through it to get it to anywhere near what factory says it will shoot. Next I bought a Christensen Arms Mesa...... Had to send it back, factory flaw, but they fixed it. I am not picking on these manufactures, however I was very unhappy at the time, looking back I just wonder if I would have been better with a Savage or Howa or just a cheaper brand gun. [/QUOTE]
