I see used Savage (non-Axis) rifles at gun shows for cheap.. Bought a .243 FXP3 for $295 out the door and it is a one-holer.

Not a big fan of the Hogue stocks but for $439 and a hankering for a .270 this Ruger Hawkeye would be top of the list:

CDNN also has the All-Weather for $549.

Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE!

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
