[QUOTE="gunmunkey, post: 1620923, member: 99710"] I think at your price point all the rifles mentioned above would do fine, just avoid the entry level rifles. Each of the brand's has something negative about it. I own/owned all of these and enjoyed them all but here's what I didn't like.... Tikka T3x- magazines are absolute garbage. Plastic and seemed like it belonged on a $299 rifle. Remington 700- trigger as mentioned above is so so Browning Xbolt- very little aftermarket parts Savage- I bind the bolt when working the action and have had feeding issues. I think that's just me, not the rifle. Heaven forbid I had to pick just one I think it would be an Xbolt, then the T3x, 700, Savage 110. Stretch your dollars and browse the used rifles on the reputable used gun stores online and you'll get more rifle for your $. Plus, if you don't like it you'll recover most of your money when you sell it. That's how I test drove rifles until I found out what I liked. [/QUOTE]
