Thread: Best $1000 budget rifle ??

In case no-one pointed it out yet: All Howa rifles sold from 2017 onward carry a 1 MOA guarantee and lifetime warranty. That said, most factory rifles will do 1 MOA.
Haven't seen a Howa that would shoot well, yes they are heavy though. My flatmate has a Ruger American and rates it, very light in comparison, and the trigger is an adjustable one like the Savage accutrigger, which takes a little getting used to but I'm certainly not changing my Savage's accutrigger anytime soon. The 783, Savages Axis, and Ruger American all probably shoot well in reality, but they feel flimsy as anything. The big rubber Hogue stock on the Howa feels chunky, but i'm betting it'll be easier to hold when you get mud, blood, or anything else that's slippery on your rifle, whereas regular plastic is probably not so good in that regard.
