What is you major criteria for (something nice?)
Accurate without a lot of tinkering, excellent fit and finish, smooth operating, real nice walnut. I've owned a bunch of sub-$1000.00 dollar rifles and I was wondering what the next step up is like. I've thought about the Cooper, Dakota, Sako, and even an American made Weatherby. I think the Cooper and the Dakota may be a little more than I want to spend.
