Not being a gun snob or whatever the pop culture term of the day is...but there is not a $400 new rifle on the market that I would buy. With that said, there are several that for less than $100 more new...would definitely come home with me. And, $400 used wisely can buy one of a variety of nice used rifles. To each his own.JMO

In my opinion, the Vanguard is best rifle you have listed and one that I would absolutely buy, but I am not sure that you can find new one for $400...if you can, buy it.

@shootniron Then why comment? There's plenty of rifles under 400 that put down deer, elk, and whatever else just the same as a 2000 dollar rifle. May not be as pretty, or have an expendive feel, but theyll do the job without spending more than what's needed. IMO

 

[shootniron]

Buy whatever you like, you are the one that has to be pleased. My suggestion was about value...but that is lost on some folks. Pardon me.

 

[shootniron]

Also, I never said anything about a $2000 dollar rifle, but I did advocate a modest amount of $100 more on the budget.

 

[Cody21]

All of the above rifles are under 400. Lol and ik, I'm just saying. 'There isn't a 400 dollar rifle on the market I would buy '

My bargain rifle buy would be a Zastava M70 from KVAR for $540 but I would save up for a Tikka T3 or CZ 550 if I had patience. I like wood stocks.

Anything under 400? No.

You can find a savage with accutrigger for under $400, that's where I'd start.

I would go with a Stevens 200, it is a Savage 10/110 action and is under $400. It is much better than the axis.

 

[Coop204]

I voted for the Weatherby vanguard, also the Howa is the same gun.

 

[Cody21]

Ya. Out of the 3 which is most accurate and durable? To me that's what matters, accuracy to hit the target and durability to keep hitting the target.

 

[Kreyzhorse]

I'm a Savage fan. They are damn accurate and reliable. I'd opt for a 110 over the Axis however.

Ruger

My Ruger American in 270 is awesome

 

[fatwhiteboy]

Walmart used to sell Winchester Model 70's for $350 but that was a few years ago...

 

[hooligan1]

You can find a Savage for that money if you try, my ole flat top shoots "lights out" with handloads.

 

[warbirdlover]

Ruger American from that group.

 

[Sodbuster]

I had an FN Mauser JC Higgins Model 50 that I really liked, chambered in 30-06. Might try a search for a JC Higgins Model 51 in .270, should be around that price point. You can update the trigger if you like.

 

[FrankenMauser]

Ruger American, if you like a thin, skinny stock.

Marlin X7, if you like something that fills your hands a bit more.

 

[Cody21]

I'm goin with the 30-06 Ruger American

 

[fireguymike]

Marlin X7. My son picked up a used one with brand new Redfield for less than $300. New I just saw one with scope on Gunbroker for $399. Delivered free.
