Quality is obviously somewhat subjective, but generally, we're talking build and component quality, fit and finish (bluing, wood to metal, stock stiffness if polymer, etc), and accuracy BEFORE you do anything to it. Has to MSRP at $1000 or less. Must be in current production.
This always seems to come up tsnhentially in other threads, so I'm curious what y'all think.

I find below $1,000 it isn't as much about a particular model as it is a particular specimen. When you lower initial cost the chances of lemons increases. Your dream rifle you own could be the last piece of crap the next guy would ever own, and BOTH of you would be right. FWIW, I like the Bergara b-14's. Howas a close second. (Off the top of my head)

I agree with the Weatherby Vanguard. Wish they were still making them in Stainless.

Vanguard gets my vote. I've owned 3 and every one was a trouble free tack driver.
