[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3527955, member: 35036"] I’ll echo what everyone here has said, most of your budget rifles offer accuracy as good or better than what you’re wanting. I’ll also suggest a Howa. They’re great, and pretty affordable too. What are you wanting to use this rifle for? Just learning and going to the range? Do you have anything you want to hunt with it? Do you have any previous experience with firearms or rifles specifically? also, at your price point you’ll be really hard up trying to find a rifle with a wooden stock, at least new. But you can always buy a wooden stock and replace the synthetic one, piece of cake. My personal opinion: I started with a 22LR rifle as my first. I highly suggest doing the same. I even did so during a big ammo scarcity deal, but I could find/afford enough 22 that I could still shoot it plenty until things calmed down. You can get a basic Henry 22 lever action with a wood stock, a Savage bolt action 22, Ruger American rimfire, Ruger 10/22 semi auto(there’s one in the classifieds right now with a walnut stock), heck, even a used CZ 455 or 457 for the price you’re talking. Purchasing a rimfire rifles as your first allows you to practice the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship without dealing with recoil, noise, or the cost of ammo. For the same price you’re gonna pay for 40 rounds of 308/30-06 you could buy a brick of 500 22lr rounds. That’s a whole lot of practice for a whole lot less money. This is just my opinion though, something to consider. [URL]https://www.chuckhawks.com/first_rifle.htm[/URL] [URL]https://www.chuckhawks.com/first_big_game_rifle.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
