I hate to do this but almost have to. no bashing each other over what there picks are.

here is what some of I think are the top 10, not in any order. I will not explain them all.

cva wolf (low cost, great beginner rifle, accurate)
tc encore (all kinds of after market products to improve it)
cva accura, (from all the reports, great rifle)
tc endeavor
traditions pursuit
knight disc (both orange and red). (finding alot of people dumping the older models in my area)
cva apex (interchangeable barrels)
tc impact (have an tc name at an cheap price)
cva optima
tc pro hunter (it wears the encore name, top end tc's all do anyway)
traditions vortex

why no more then one knight on my list, can't be found in any of my local gunshops right now. when I am thinking general public i am thinking what someone would see in an local store vs buying online.
