I am looking to obtain another rifle. A .308 bolt action rifle either one, single shot or mag. fed one but I think I would prefer a mag fed one.
My budget right now is around $3-400. I realize there are some that cost much more, but that is all I have saved up right now to work with & Christmas is coming & I have that to deal with as well. On a limited budget, so It takes along time for me to save up enough to go higher in price. I am not in a rush, but would like to get one before the end of the year.
I do not want a "scope only" rifle. I prefer iron sights & I can always add a scope from some that I have already if I would want to do so in the future. Looking for ones without scope & just iron sights has been a bit of a chore for me as it seems everyone wants a scope & not the iron sights for some reason that escapes me.
Wood preferred of course, but composite is OK.
I am just asking for some suggestions from you folks & your experiences. I have been looking here & there, but with out going to a lot of places to check them out in person , I thought asking here would keep me narrowed down to ones that have a somewhat "proven" history for being decent for the price paid.
Any assistance in doing this would be appreciated, and Thanks!, in advance, for any who might be able to help me out with leads, choices, experiences & info.
