Nailed it. Nothing wrong with any of the other calibers mentioned either though of course.

As for great shooting "budget rifles", TC Compass with $75 rebate, Winchester XPR with $100 rebate or a Savage AXIS II with (I believe) a $100 rebate are all fantastic rifles that can be had for around $250 or less in some instances. Ruger American shoots pretty well also but they rarely offer the rebates of the others mentioned.
