Best *BANG* for the buck (pun intended)
Hey all,
I've had experience shooting some competition quality rimfire rifles and done a lot of trapshooting w/a 12 gauge. I'm thinking of investing a lot of money (for a college student anyway) into a centerfire rifle that has heavy emphasis on target shooting. I doubt I'll ever use this for self-defense, and I'll probably use other guns for hunting... so accuracy and reliability are the main factors involved.
that being said...
What is the best value for $500 dollars or less out there? I realize that won't buy me a 700 or anything close to a serious competition firearm, but I'd still like to get the most for the money. The 500 bucks needs to encompass the complete package (scope, mounts, any special stock configurations, etc.).
any recommendations?
