Which is best? New Ruger American in 270 no scope for $299.99 +tax and background check or a used Marlin XL7 270 with Nikon prosatff scope and 100 rounds of ammo for $350 out the door? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Just as good as the Ruger, probably better than the Marlin.Just out of curiosity, is the Savage Axis II 270 a decent rifle? Got a buddy that has one with a wood stock that his dad gave him that's trying to sell it. It's got a weaver 3x9x40 scope on it. He's wanting $360 for it. Didnt know how it stacked up against the other 2.
Personally I would go for the Axis II with wood furniture. The Ruger is a good rifle hiding in a poor stock (so is the Axis II in the Tupperware stocks), but the Axis II is a better trigger, and Savage makes a pretty fair rifle all in all. The Marlin is okay, but I would go for the Savage and upgrade the scope later. Just my opinion, of course.Just out of curiosity, is the Savage Axis II 270 a decent rifle?
