I refused to say "other" because that's literally hundreds or thousands. Between those three, the Vanguard easily. It costs a little more, but it's still a bargain and well worth it.

Definately the Vanguard from this list, but I have shot most of my game with a tang safety model 77 Ruger. I retired it after 22 whitetails, 2 mulies, 2 pronghorns and a bobcat.

Are used rifles in the running? If so, I'd skip the Axis and get a regular Savage 110.

 

[jakk280rem]

For the price I'd rather have a 50's or 60's vintage commercial Mauser.

 

[Sav .250]

All are good but The Savage would be my choice.

I would too, that' why I just bought one.

 

[Jackal]

I must ask: Why a .270? It does nothing a .308 cant do.

 

[Robert]

I'd go Winchester. Best rifles for the money.

Um... and vice versa. That's like saying why buy Coke when you can have Pepsi.

If weight isn't an issue grab the Vanguard or the Howa 1500 (same rifle).

 

[Cody21]

I think either the River or the Weatherby. And either 270 or 30-06. Classic cartridges.

 

[Cody21]

Ruger not river.

 

[jakk280rem]

I have an early 3 digit serial post war commercial FN in 270WIN. I only paid $350 and I wouldn't trade it straight across for any new rifle made today. Except maybe a Melvin Forbes rifle.

 

[Cody21]

I've decide to go with the Ruger American chambered in 30-06. Accurate, reliable, and a wide variety of ammo.

 

[ngnrd]

Cool. Let us know how it shoots.

 

[natescout]

I think the Tikka T3 is way better than the savage and vanguard for another 100 doggies, sold my savage to get a vanguard, sold the vanguard for the tikka .. My tikka is in .270 and is lighter and more accurate then the vanguard or savage.. no experience with the ruger

I'm curious to hear how the American shoots. I'm a definite Ruger fan who has put his money where his mouth is many times over but I've heard very little of the American rifle.

Anxious to hear your report!

My nephew picked up a Ruger American in .243 last summer. We have had it out several times and for a budget rifle it has performed quite well. If I find myself shopping for a new rifle any time soon it will be on my short list.

Good luck with your new toy.....

 

[Big20]

Tikka T3. My first group, using partitions, went 3/4 inch.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Other...20+ year old Remington 700 BDL.

T/C Venture

Not under $400 but the Venture might make the list... Built in the US.
