To assemble your “go-to - first pick out of the safe - go anywhere all-around rifle for the lower 48 for non-dangerous game that you eat”
The $1500 budget covers the rifle, rings, and bases (not scope)...
What would you put together, and why? What range of game and what environments? If you saved any $$, what are they put against? You already have a reliable range finder. And Binos.
