My wife is talking about buying me a rifle for Christmas. I don't have a centerfire rifle, she has 3 from her father. A Winchester Model 100 .243, a Winchester lever .308 and a 94 30-30.
I like bolt guns and am interested in practicing out to 400 yards at the local range.
She is considering getting a Savage Axis for me as they are cheap(and so are we), but I would rather buy a quality used rifle like a Rem 700 or Savage 110.
What should we look for when inspecting used rifles? Aside from rust, broken parts and missing pieces.
