Looked at some rifles tonight

[JLC77]

Have heard good things on the mossburg

I'd go the savage route, but my remmy 710 is one heck of a truck gun with that
2-7 vx1 sitting on top.

The Thompson center venture is in that price range as well

I had a venture in .243 that I sold to a member on here and that thing is a tack driver!! The only thing I hated about it and I mean I HATED was the cheap plastic magazine that I felt my big sausage fingers was gonna break every time Ioaded it lol.

I have shot many a Remington's and owned a savage axis .223. For the price I paid for the axis and the scope I put on it, it was awesome. Here's a hundred yard group with the axis I had, no trigger job and a BSA contender scope.


I had no complaints about the savage

Thx for the post. Really leaning towards axis

Going out on a limb here but I am guessing you are not a Savage fan.

I have seen many Savages out shoot Remingtons although I like them both. Do you have any Factual data to back up your statement? I have also heard good things about the Ruger.

which of the two are used in building more bench rest rifles...........I really don't think you want me to answer that.................just sayin'....

I know, that wasn't directed at you. any of the rifles you are looking for will fit the bill for what you are looking for.

Hmm

Savage rifles may shoot just as well as the Remington but I just plain prefer the Remington and don't mind paying just a little more for them.

That being said my recommendation is the 700 ADL.

I bought a mossberg 270 awhile back for 229 at acadey fir a truck gun
that sucker shoots a ragged hole at 100 yds.
it ain't pretty but it performs

Yep this ^^
I got the 100 ATR in .308 3 seasons back and it has become my favorite rifle of all time. Get it at academy and trash the cheap scope they come with and put something nice on there. Mine shoots clover leaf at 100 yards with silver box Winchester. Smooth action, decent trigger and a maintenance free finish. It's all about function, not beauty but that fluted barrel looks pretty cool to me.
