Here's the good old "What are you going to do with your income tax refund?" question...
I'd really like an accurate, long(er) range rifle, preferably in 30-06 since I hear its more versatile than the .308 if i'm handloading. I'd like to stay below about $500 total, excluding the optics. My range has a gong at about 500yards I'd love to hear ring a couple times.
I've surfed around and don't really any "Oh THAT one, THAT is the one" rifles that stand out for me, but the accu-trigger (savage i think?) seems pretty nice. I dont really have any experince with hunting rifles, just battlerifles and my 10/22.
It should be bolt action, as you can't hunt in PA with a semi-auto.
I'd like to keep it 30-06 for the sake of simplicity (Uncle and Cousin also use)
And is 1\2 or even 3\4 MOA accuracy too much to ask in this price range? 1MOA? (On a benchrest with a good day on my part, of course)
Any suggested brands\upgrades?
What AM i going to do with my tax refund check???
