Default RE: New Gun , What brand do you prefer ?

My first suggestion would be a savage, they are probably as accurate as it gets as far as out of box rifles go, and for sure the most accurate for the money. They're pretty plain Jane, but I still think they look great, and they definitely shoot great.

If you're not interested in the Savages, but don't mind spending a bit of money, get a Ruger M77 with one of their skeleton stocks, talk about something a little different. They look really good, even if it isn't really functional. THey make great hunting rifles, I loved mine before I traded it for a blued/walnut M77. Only problem with Rugers is that they are a little overbored, so they actually need to be shot a couple times to build up some fouling before they're going to drive any tacks, but mine will hit washington on a dollar bill consistantly clear out to 350 yrds.

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
