Go with a Weatherby Vanguard or get the exact same Howa barreled action from Brownell's and stock it yourself. Either way you will be getting a hinged steel floorplate/ bottom metal. The lower price offerings from Ruger and Savage are plenty accurate, but have too much "plastic" for my tastes.
I have a howa 1500 for trade/sale if you are interested.
It has less than 1
80 rounds through it.
I am looking for a deer gun for my grandson.
Something 260, 7-08 or 308
Would be great or pm me for a cash price.
Thanks
Rodman
