A lot of older rifles are very superior to these entry level rifles. have you try the weatherby mark v accumark in 300 win mag? The stock looks like a varmint/tactical/long range/hunting compromise, and may do those thing well, its just not what I was looking for. Although, I think Vlad is optimistic on price, but you can find a deal. They come in the same price bracket as Tikka rifles but from what I have read, unlike the popular T3X rifles, Sauer 100 rifles The Momentum Elite comes with a detachable box-type magazine that holds three or four cartridges (depending on the caliber) for fast, safe and easy loading and unloading. It just does everything reasonably well. What? Phil. I believe the momentum rifle could easily stack up against the models outlined in the under $500 category. I have found a lot of draw backs such as a cramped magazine box that when I tried to seat bullets out there was no room in the magazine to do so therefore I had excess bullet jump into the throat of the barrel, especially older barrels with slightly eroded throats and not being able to seat the bullet out sometimes does not give you the best accuracy. People harp on me for recommending the Weatherby Vanguard because its essentially the same thing as a Howa 1500, but costs more money. To be clear, youll load the rifle from the top, pushing one round at a time down and into the internal magazine, and this function allows you to safely and easily unload the Momentum. 2023 Backfire LLC, a limited liability company headquartered in Utah, USA. **sorry for posting this comment on another article, but I guess this is the more suitable article for this discussion.

That limits my choice of rifles. Will be used mostly for white tail and hogs in Texas. Even on safe, the bolt can be manipulated to chamber or eject a round.

If you are looking at that sub $1000 rifle check out the Bergara Wilderness Ridge (Mine was $850). In regards to the Howa 1500 I got one in 300 PRC, it had a Houge stock, I installed a Bell & Carlson, put a Konos M30 on top and got a group the size of a 50 cent piece at a 100 yards. Why would anyone purchase a rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor when 7mm-08 will do everything the 6.5 can but with a bigger bullet, flatter trajectory, and comparable wind drift at typical hunting ranges? I am going to use the rifle for mainly whitetail deer hunting in Wisconsin but I occasionally like once every 5-10 years go out west and hunt pronghorn or elk and have recently tried to hunt moose in Alaska.
