Only pretty rifles are interesting
Now Brian, far be it from to publicly correct a staff member, but you know as well as I do, that the quote is actually thus:
"Only accurate, pretty, expensive, rifles used by old white guys at Camp Perry in the 1930s are interesting."
That being said, while for some vague reason that I can't quite pin point, I find the trend toward budget beginning rifles somewhat troubling, I think rifles like the 783, Ruger American, and Mossberg 4x4, are great for the continuation of America as a nation of riflemen hunters.
Would I buy one for me, nope, well, except the 4X4, but that was more to help a friend out.
However, would I buy a .243 Ruger American for the Lady Friend so she can have her own deer rifle? You betcha I would. And did.
She's not going to be winning hi-power matches with it, but she knows where it hits, zeros it to her Power-Point loads, and hunts with it, so there you go, the rifle is serving it's purpose and didn't kill my checking account to buy.
