For a truck gun that will see plenty of abuse, can't imagine spending much coin. I bought my son a savage axis in 223 this year for deer. Will shoot a little better than moa with cheap American eagle fmj's, and better yet with hornady and Remington ammo. Plastic stock is ugly but it's a shooter for sure. I'm tempted to duracoat to rustproof the action and barrel, just haven't got around to it yet. Total investment with duracoat $250.
