My experience with the low cost models. Please note that these are a sample of one, and you can never guarantee good or bad from a rifle in this price range-
Ruger American Ranch- Early model, shot terrible even with match ammo ~2MOA. Action is nice, trigger is okay, stock has the look and feel of an old tupperware container. A lot of people don't like the mags and mine had a burr on it that had to be removed for it to function properly. They now have a version that takes AR mags but that limits you to 2.25 OAL ammo.
Remington 783- The first one shot terrible but the replacement Remington sent wlll hover around 0.6 MOA with my reloads. Action is smooth and I like the trigger, magazine is well made, stock is probably the best of all the budget rifles. They make them with 16 and 22" barrels. It will run 5.56 ammo without any issues.
Howa Mini Action with Heavy barrel- fun little gun. Shoots 3/4 MOA. If you want something for target use, this wouldn't be my first choice but more of a lightweight option. It does not like warm loads so definitely no 5.56.
Mossberg Predator- This gun shot fantastic with 68/69 grain match bullets, 1/2 MOA or better. Action was sloppy and the plastic trigger guard was starting to crack after 50 rounds. Laminated stock was really nice. It didn't feed reliably from the original or any other AR mag I put in it, and again, you can't load ammo longer than 2.250"
I've never owned a Savage but I have shot them and they have all been good shooters. The actions are a little clunky for my taste.
The T/C rifles are available for at reasonable costs but I have never had the opportunity to shoot one.
