It depends entirely on what the OP wants from the rifle, same as any other.
Traditional? Inline? Flint? Percussion? Rifled? Smooth? Use? Game? Length?
There isn't much to go on except the price range, so "best" is a bad guess at this point.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
