Several great priced rifles out there today. Savage Axis ll, Ruger American, Remington , and Winchester all have "entry level" bolt guns under $400 with scope. I mean entry level as for thr price not the quality. I think the Axis ll would be your better choice imho.

For me, it's about shooting "History ". I would not blink an eye on a 03 or 03a3 if money was no object. Then again, I still would like a modern rifle for accuracy shooting.
