With 1000 dollars what rifle would you buy and WHY?

[bonie]

Ruger American GEN II and you have money left for a decent scope.

Hopping on the zombie-thread bandwagon with the only correct answer.

Browning X-bolt Stalker LR $975:
Buttery Smooth action
Adjustable comb height
Threaded barrel
3-port Brake
Fast twist barrel in popular LR cartridges
Flush fit magazine

Pack it up, boys. 13 years later we solved the riddle.

The right answer doesn't come complete with the correct chambering?! That's what I really want to know!

$1,000?
Older remington…. remington Sportsman 78 or 788
U can find for around $300-$600.
Get a used scope here and "go to town with it"!

I have had these two models.. sold the 788 and 78 was stolen and wish i had them back. Tremendous accuracy!
LH 788 6mm (788)
And a Model 78 243!
Tack drivers and u may have enough left over for a trigger and new stock

Cool!

 

[DarryH]

no recommendations without more info to make one

 

[Jester560]

A Sako M995 30-378 Weatherby. Would prolly have to put a few more hundred with it but....
Why you ask? Just because I want a rifle in that caliber and I already have that rifle in .300 Win Mag and it is a hammer.

 

[skipglo]

Howa or Vanguard.....no question! Whatever you pay for the one you like....you'll never loose money on it..... Savage's are accurate....but CHEAP...a dime a dozen if you ever want to resell!

Well I have a couple; A 300 win mag CA mesa was purchased for $750 after sale price and rebate in 2021 at Murdock's. This past September Ruger American Go live Camo in 7mm PRC for $550.00 at Sheels. The Mesa is a shooter out of the box, and have upgraded it with the CA precision stock. The Ruger, at this point have replaced the trigger and added a cheek adjustment, haven't reloaded yet for it. The federal ammo with 175 g bullets have grouped well 0.5-0.6, Hornady ammo for whatever reason will not group below 1.5 MOA.

Used Remington 700 std. bolt face long action. I see these for sale at local gun and pawn shops, some with Leupold scopes . 70's- 80's models. Scopes are guaranteed for life and you can add the extras ( trigger ,stock, open the bolt face to a magnum., etc.) You have a great action to build a custom rifle as time and funds become available. My 338 RUM and my 300 win. started life that way. Good Luck.

We know yours is the pink gun. Quit fibbing. lol

Haha, at some point I hope the girls take them. I don't think this will still be a 28 Nosler by then though.
