Hello everyone,
I am looking for a bolt-action rifle for recreational shooting is relatively inexpensive. Any ideas? My friends have recommended a Remington or Savage Arms. Also, what caliber would you recommend?

Thanks!

    I would get a 22 LR. Get a Savage MK II heavy barrel with the Accu-trigger. Cost under $250.

    I agree with Pearyw. You will want a 22 Long Rifle because it will the the cheapest on ammo. I'll be getting the same rifle Pearyw suggested for myself shortly. I haven't seen any used ones on the auction side lately so people who are buying them must be keeping them.

    I got a Savage 93fv in 22wmr last year. With a better scope (I have a $20 3-9x on it) it could certainly be a tack driver. Saw a guy at the range that has the same rifle in 17hmr, he was getting 1/2" to 3/4" groups at 100 yards with it. He had a "decent" 4-12x scope on his.

    Good choice for a Centerfire.

    Also look at a CZ training rifle in 22lr.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.
