[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5529518, member: 18110"] Mostly savage in general. Are there more accurate rifles? Sure there are...but not at the price point most of your examples are in. I bought a SS axis ll when Walmart was clearancing them out...for less than 300.00. It out shot my 1500.00 Christensen. Pissed me off to the point I sold the Christensen... 😂 There are shooters and non shooters in every brand. I'm just finding that my odds of getting a good one are high within the savage brand. To be honest...never had a savage that wouldn't shoot. I've had rifles from a bunch of brands...aside from a win model 70 that I've got my eye on, any future center-fire rifle purchases will be from savage. Someone above suggested Bergara...these are excellent rifles....just not at your price point. The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards the creedmoor as my suggested caliber. 100 yards may be all you intend to hunt...the creedmoor will be good at that range...plus a lot further if you decide to stretch it out. Unless you just want multiple rifles...no sense in buying one that will limit you to "150 or less". [/QUOTE]
