Ok so the title is a little misleading,
I have a mosin nagant, ruger 10/22 and an AR15.
None of these options really fit a target rifle, and that's what I am needing help with deciding on.
I have always been a pistol shooter, and recently started reloading 9mm. I bought the ar15 thinking it would be a good gun to sit down and benchrest and shoot groupings with, while it does that well its not ideal and I much prefer standing and letting loose on some steel at about 50 yards or less with it.
Because of reloading and all the reading I have done I have found myself wanting a rifle to try and dial in, work with reloads and just gain a better understanding of shooting rifles.
I have my 10/22 to plink around and learn fundamentals on but I am wanting a full power gun to really learn and work with at distance.
Since I don't hunt and I am just starting with rifles I don't really want to invest a huge amount of money into it.
I have been looking at a savage axis II or a Ruger American. I am more concerned with long distance shooting with it not necessarily weight reduction or shorter barrels, are there any rifles I need to look at other than the two I've mentioned in that rough price range? Also any other "new rifle shooter" advise would be great!
Thanks!
