Hey all, question;

Looking to buy a bolt action rifle (a tack driver at 100 yards but can put down good sized game need be) upwards of $700, obviously cheaper the better, but at the same time not looking for a rifle that falls apart after a hundred rounds if you catch my drift.

Suggestions on calibers? Manufactures? Actual models?

Right now I'm thinking of a .223 Rem through a Savage 12 FV or a Mossburg MVP. Rifles are not...that expensive, and the .223 ammo is fairly cheap (no ability to hand load rounds and on a tight budget).

Thanks all,

-Wittel
