mjbgalt, not to be rude but i don't think i'v SEEN more than two $500 rifles in my life. our rifles are as follows: h&r handi rifle, marlin .22 magnum, rossi matched pair(.22/.410), M1 GARAND, American eagle model 235.
The GARAND we got for $150. the handi is mine, i paid $300 for it, scope and all, new.
