I think the Howa 1500/ Weatherby Vanguard is one of the great sleepers out there. I am a lefty, so I don't own any. However, my father in law and several friends have them (some on my recommendation). All are tack drivers with preferred ammo.
I actually bought one for my pastor as a Christmas gift from the church a couple of years ago. It was a closeout a WalMart for $250 while they were closing a small store and opening a Super WalMart. I bet you don't see many churches doing that today.
