I'm currently doing a little poking around for a solid bolt-action rifle that I can use for either hunting or accurate shooting at the range - I'm not looking for .5 MOA at 1000 yards, just something with great accuracy for the dollar. I'd like to stay under $400-450....I could certainly afford more at this point if I had to, but I'm in college, money is relatively scarce, and I'd rather get 2-3 decent guns that serve different purposes (e.g. this rifle plus a shotgun) than put all my eggs in one basket. I also need a cartridge that will satisfy all my needs well - hunting game in various sizes (which here goes from varmints all the way to black bear, though I have a .223 for the smaller stuff), particularly deer, plus with great accuracy, lots of different loads available, and low ammunition costs.
I was thinking of either a Savage package gun or a Mossberg ATR. Any thoughts ?
