What rifles surprised you with their accuracy and didn't cost you an arm and a leg.
1. Marlin model 60W. Found at a LGS on consignment for $125.00. While I have a Marlin and a Ruger already, I was intrigued with the longer barrel. With the scope it is my most accurate .22 with CCI Standard velocity ammo. Bushnell rimfire scope added.
2. Anderson lower and parts, home built MSR with PSA upper 1/7 SS barrel. Cost around $500.00 including Bushnell Dawn/Dusk illumninating reticle for coyote hunting. Bought mail order sale parts over the holidays. Shoots 69 and 77 grain .223 Gorilla ammo amazingly well out to 200 yards (farthest I've tested it).
3. This one is kind of cheating. This Marlin 336 .35 Remington was handed down to me before my dad passed way. It cost me nothing, but continues to give me memories of him every deer season. Shoots .35 Remington Hornady LeveRevolution ammo with deadly accuracy every year. Once again, I mounted a Bushnell Dawn/Dusk scope on it as my eyes are getting older.
