A buyer\u2019s guide for the best budget bolt-action rifle and scope combos currently on the market.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We all like nice things. Luxury cars, posh clothes, fancy cell phones, whatever your vice might be, it\u2019s nice to have the good stuff. But when it comes to rifles, that attitude can get really expensive. And while none of us would turn down a $10,000 Blaser R8, most of us aren\u2019t lining up to pay for one.<\/p>\n

For the vast majority of hunters, a cheap rifle will put as much meat in the freezer as an expensive one. And these days, those budget rifles even come with scopes.<\/p>\n

But are they any good? We got a whole pile of them to find out.<\/p>\n

Out Of The Box And Into The Woods<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before we get into individual reviews, let\u2019s talk about some big-picture things.<\/p>\n

First, don\u2019t make your decision based on the MSRP. While MSRP ranges widely among these rifles, prices we\u2019re seeing in stores are much closer. The cost shouldn\u2019t dictate your choice since these are really a lot closer than the MSRP makes you think they are. Check local and online pricing before committing.<\/p>\n

Secondly, none of these rifles should be bought and then immediately taken to harvest an animal. You need to check the level of the scope, the torque on the mount and scope rings, zero the rifle and test with your preferred ammo. Some retailers will level, torque and bore sight the rifle for you, but not all, and almost none of them without your asking for them to do it.<\/p>\n

Lastly, all of these packages have strengths and weaknesses, all get the job done, and they\u2019re all great values for their price. But they have limitations. Depending on the hunting you want to do, these rifles might not cut it.<\/p>\n
