After the government has been so kind to release my money back to me from the 0% loan I gave them , I find myself in the market for an inexpensive bolt action rifle (looking at .270).
So far, I've fondled the Mossberg 100ATR, the Rem 770 scoped combo (710 + scope?), and the Marlin XL7.
Of those, the Marlin was the favorite, based on the action (smoothness and play) versus the others. The Mossy was #2, and the Remmy seemed like a piece of #2.
However, in the latest Cabela's ad, they had a "Stevens Scoped Combo" for $399. I'm guessing the scope is Cabela's standard, budget Pine Ridge scope, which is <<$100. But, they don't mention what model the Stevens is.
I can get the XL7 for <$300.
Any advice from THR on this?
I did a search through the forums, and both seem to get good reviews. The only difference I could spy was the Stevens lacking an "accutrigger", and I've heard the XL7 trigger is pretty nice.
Thanks in advance.
