Thread: Thoughts on top options for "value" centrefire?

Hi

There seems to be a price-point break at around $1,000 for so-called value rifles

I'm interested in what people think are the top three options to take a look at, and why

I've had a Marlin XS7 before and it was good, with a reasonable trigger and I didn't care about the internal magazine or the plastic stock.

So the others that come to mind are the Ruger American, Thompson/Centre Venture, blued Rem 700s, Savage 11 and cheapy Axis, Howa 1500, Zastava

Basically I'm trying to narrow down the field for a .308 deer rifle from eight-ish to three and then consider 'fit' etc.

Thanks for your thoughts
