Figured good trade item or such if things go sour.<br /><br />I am a friend of the Savage. If I want to be cheap and get a decent rifle, there is an accutrigger savage combo that I would trust. And you are right, it is about that $500 range.<br /><br />The reason I asked in the first place:<br /><br />Just saw some dirt cheap Remington 770's at the local Academy, about $350. Bolt was clunky, but then online you have fellas saying, "Just oil it and it works great. A tack driver".<br /><br />It just seems too good to be true.<br /><br />My local Wallyworlds are dwindling down to just .243, .270, 7mm rem mag, and 300 win mag.<br /><br />I would like a nice $1K Remington or Winchester in the mag calibres....with iron sights, almost impossible to get in a new rifle.<br /><br />But was thinking I could get a .243, a .270, and a good amount of ammo for the price of one of those mag rifles.<br /><br />I ain't rich, and gotta make the money count, but don't want to buy something for cheap that don't work.Conan the Cimmerianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649363195230989320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-86449404294689767672013-03-22T14:33:03.092-07:002013-03-22T14:33:03.092-07:00I will never get used to seeing SKS's sell for...I will never get used to seeing SKS's sell for 1000 dollars.<br /><br />I mean...<br /><br /><br />Really?Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962463170236658764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-5597242049852708282013-03-22T11:53:48.138-07:002013-03-22T11:53:48.138-07:00Conan,
Anything with "Savage" on it is...Conan, <br /><br />Anything with "Savage" on it is going to be an accurate, well-made bargain. They used to do combo packages boresighted at the factory. <br /><br />Consider a Ruger "American". It's an entry-level rifle but it has an adjustable trigger, free-floated barrel and aluminum bedding blocks. They come in .243, .308, .270 and .30-06 Gun Tests magazine reviewed a .243 which turned in groups under 1 MOA with factory ammo. <br /><br />Mossberg 4x4 would be another one to look at. The Ruger and the Mossberg should both set you back no more than $500. <br /><br />A while back I had a plan to buy a Mosin 91/30 and a spam can of 7.62x54R every month. If one wanted some party favors to set aside for Johnny Come Latelys, it'd be hard to go wrong with Mosin-Nagants. <br /><br />Wish I'd bought a bunch of Chicom SKS rifles back in the 90s when they were $100/ea, they are doing a damn sight better than my 401K.

Usually that is not a big deal because the combos cost about the same as non-combo guns. At least they used too.<br /><br />So you get a gun that you can shoot right away and upgrade the scope later.Giraffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556306156373942923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-39835785283718364002013-03-20T16:34:53.390-07:002013-03-20T16:34:53.390-07:00Any thoughts on cheapy cheap rifle combos that are...Any thoughts on cheapy cheap rifle combos that are actually ok and not a waste of money?<br /><br />Thinking about a .243 since it is readily available at Wallyworld.

But I'm down to my last few boxes of 45 ACP and .40, so I'm not doin' live fire pistol drills anymore. Better hang on to the AR. I still think a .22 is the best bug-out long gun, wish I had one of them 10-22's.
