This ^^^^ as long as you can get along with a cartridge that fits. Can always go with the AR10 as base for a 308 or 6.5.
In a low cost bolt gun, the Ruger stands alone.

I asked because they have been a topic of conversation here at work. Ruger American and Howa are two that get mentioned a bunch. Never had either one, but I've thought about trying them out so I would have an opinion. I haven't seen sub-$400 700s here for a bit...
ARs are an easy recommendation. They are pretty much all I have played with for the last few years, with the various oddball like Scars and the like thrown in. Some of the guys are hesitant on those still....

No hands on with the newer Howa's so I'll take yer werd
as you've prolly yanked a trigger or 2 on 'em.Older ones were OK, metal wise, just heavy as hell.
