    First bolt gun?

    Hey guys,

    I never really even considered a bolt gun before so i dont know much.. I have a few ARs/AKs.. and lately I ve kinda been getting more interested in bolt guns. What do you guy recommend for a good first bolt gun? So far the only two rifles I ve really read about are the remington 700 and mossberg MVP? Any suggestions?

    I'm partial to the Winchester Model 70 but I hear the new Remington 783 is supposed to be pretty good as well as the 700.

        Can't go wrong with a Rem 700, obviously.

        Any idea what you might want to do with it?

        Any interest in a .22LR? I just picked up a couple bolt action 22s and LOVE them. One has iron sights and the other has a 4x scope.

          Check out the Savage 308, Model 10 line. I got a FCP with Accu-trigger, Accu-stock, 24", 5R rifling, heavy barrel, fluted, threaded, magazine fed, scope mounting rail. Was not listed on the Savage web site. Limited special run for a distributor. $825.00. Need to mount scope and break in it.

            Cant go wrong with a 700, another option Ruger American Rifle.
            I have a MVP, and very happy with it.

                    Mosin. At the beginning of this year, they went for about $100-120ish "new" from the store. Now they are going for $150-200 "new" from the store.

                    Get yours before they jump in prices again.

                      If you've got a decent budget, take a look at:

                      -Remington 700
                      -Winchester 70

                      Good rule of thumb: Your glass should cost about as much as your rifle.

                          I'm looking at getting my first bolt gun soon as well. I was thinking about the Ruger American, but am waiting to see of I can get a good deal.
