[QUOTE="TNReb, post: 2906677, member: 676"] I went through the same thing a couple of months ago... looking for a bolt action 270. I'm going to assume the $500 budget is for the rifle only - not optics. Don't worry about people who say one rifle is more accurate than another, etc. If you're only going to use it for deer hunting, you simply don't need MOA accuracy. You need to be able to hit about a 3" area. Any rifle is going to be able to do that. I really liked the Tikka T3 Hunter. The bolt was exceptionally smooth. It may be a little over the $500 budget - shop around. The Browning A-bolt didn't feel that great to me, and I wound up going with an X-bolt. Shop around - you may can find a good deal on a used one. Ruger and Savage also make a good rifle. Shop around. Handle as many as you can. Find one that feels best to you. [/QUOTE]
