First bolt gun?

[Nrai2020]

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.

First bolt gun...Savage FV-SR 22 LR.

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.

This was mine too! Back during the $89 Big 5 days.
This was YEARS ago and I have yet to put a single round through it. haha

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.

Another Vote for a Savage Mark II FV. It's a blast pegging small targets out to 200 with bulk ammo
