how about a savage? I have had a model 110 for about 15 years now. It will do anything that my other bolt actions will do. It might not have exibition grade walnut stock or fancy checkering, but I can buy a box of winchester or federal ammo and it will shoot as well..."if not better" than my Remingtons, brownings, rugers...ect. And it wont set your budget back too much.
