    Best $1000 budget rifle ??

    Got a Grand, got to get a rifle.......which one.
    Must be available on NZ market in a calibre 6.5 and above.

    Howa 1500

    Savage Axis

    Ruger American or Predator

    Remington 700 ADL

    Any others ? can't be second hand.... well can be but must be as new.

    Thoughts, suggestions and reasons please, this could influence my purchase.
