[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1175375, member: 50867"] Mike, because these forums generally include opinions (which is proper) rather than recommendations (which are generally dangerous) what you saw in my initial post was purely my personal preference. If you don't have a lot of experience in comparing rifles I would offer the opinion that you would be better served by printing out the specs. on each of the rifles you're interested in and laying them out side by side so that you can compare their individual features. Include images so you can compare features like the stock, bolt position and angle, trigger style, etc. "are the a good gun?" All of them are "good guns". But a good gun in your hands may not get a good gun rating in mine. One last opinion. If you're buying a rifle with a "budget build" in mind for the future you're wasting your money. If you want to build a rifle, build it from scratch. The only thing you gain from tearing down an old rifle to build a "budget" rifle is that you don't have to spend money on a new action. By the time you have that action tuned you're savings [U]might[/U] be about $300 - In which case I wouldn't choose any of the rifles you've listed. [/QUOTE]
