I personally just bought a Savage 10 FCP for $379, but looks like they're out of stock for that price. I'd check in at this link from time to time, they were out shortly after I bought mine then came in stock, so they may get more.

Outside if that, for under $500 the ones I looked at in addition the the above were (with finalists having a *):

Savage Axis II
*Savage 11 Trophy Hunter
Thompson Center Compass
*Thompson Center Venture
*Ruger American
Winchester XPR

My purpose is a very occasional hog hunt when visiting family in Arkansas and just for general messing around and having something that can reach out more than my AR if needed. I based my list on a good deal of research, both professional reviews and reading a variety of forums.

I have nothing against Mossberg, the one shotgun I own is a Mossberg 500. Just haven't heard awesome things about their rifles. Not terrible things either, just not as much praise as the ones above get on a consistent basis.
