I know I shouldn't ask this question since I finally paid off my Browning Citori 1 month before pheasant season.
But I want a rifle to last the rest of my hunting life. Hopefully many years. I also want it to be accurate to say 1 moa for up to $1000 without scope.
I like the classic wood stalk or laminants and hate the no sole plastic stocks.
Chambered in 308 or 30-06 for mostly deer hunting but maybe some day pronghorn or elk. 3 pound trigger would be nice.
The budget Ruger Americans, Savage Axis, Mossberg Patriot look good but the stock are ugly yet weather resistant. I fondle a lot of Remington 700's (CDL/BDL) and think they might do a good job but I don't have to buy one today so what would you guys suggest.
