I'm GASing again (formerly Guitar, now Gun Acquisition Syndrome), and this time it's for a rifle that has the following characteristics:
1. Cheap! (or as cheap as you'd go before quality suffers noticeably)
2. Bolt action .243, .270, or .30-06
3. No fanciness, just a bare bones, solid performer.
4. proven reliability
5. This will mostly lie around, but I'll hunt whitetail with it eventually. I just want a long range shooter put away for when that day comes. I.E. I don't need something that comes with "braggin' rights"
I've done a little research, but can't decide between the Savage/Stevens 200, Marlin X7 series, or Mossberg ATR 100 series. That, and I know there's more out there I'm missing. Any suggestions as to what you'd go for?
Thanks!
