I’m glad that you emphasized the need to test different ammo. Your exactly right saying that you have to find the ammo that each gun likes.

Happy to see the honorable mention on the Cascade. I scored on a Cascade XT 6.5 CM for my 12 year old son to use for his first deer rifle this year. Got it for a little over $530. Very happy with it. Great groups and having the ability to shorten the stock to 13" is really nice for kids or small stature shooters.

I agree with the list for the most part. If someone could stretch the budget a bit the CVA is worth it, or for a bit more the tikka. It is a shame the Thompson Center Compass is gone, it was a shooter. Love the Ruger.

Great choices, WTW. I went with a Tikka T3x-lite. Love it. Wanted the CVA Cascade but couldn't find one in 6.5 cm. Don't regret it, at all.

Got my first cz600 in 6.5 Creed for 6 hundo. Insanely accurate with insane features. Now, with a 100 doll-hair rebate and clearance, I have a CZ600 in 30-06 coming in for about 350 total. Crazy deal. You get a pseudo CRF that you can top load, melonite/nitride sorta finish, 3 pos safety, locking magazine, integral rail, aluminum receiver, 60 degree throw, semi heavy threaded barrel. Awesome awesome awesome. They need to come out with a light profile barrel and then I'll take it into the mountains too!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us on this topic. All the top 6 can be great rifles and you have proven that. I know some can be lemons 🍋 see BackfireTV’s issue with 2 Mossberg Patriot and your first Ruger GW in 7 PRC, but most of the time they’re shooters. The only two on this list that I haven’t at least handled at Cabela’s etc are the Howa 1500 and CZ Alpha 600. My youngest brother bought a couple Savage Axis (243 and 6.5) for his kids and they are shooters too.

I have the Savage Axis in 223 and it is a tack driver. I changed the trigger spring too lighten it up but that is all it needed. And I have the Ruger American in 243. I changed the stock too a Pro Mag and what a difference from the factory junk.

Another awesome video. My favorite budget rifle is the Ruger American Predator. IM STILL HOPING YOU WILL DO A 350 LEGEND VS 300BLACKOUT COMPARISON LIKE IVE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR 3 YEARS NOW 😆

Im a firm believer in no longer needing to spend 1500 bones on a rifle. My last savage was an axis in 270 win and it was rediculiously accurate. The only one on your list I may be hesitant to buy would be the mossberg. I'd soo er have the CVA ... but hey that's just me.

Great advice on finding a gun's favorite ammo. Some will shoot most anything. Many will not. Once I was shooting with a buddy. We both had the very same rifle. After awhile it was very obvious that each preferred a different ammo! We even swapped rifles - no difference! I think new owners are often disillusioned because they do not bother to find their new rifle's favorite. You spend so much time, money & effort making these "really fun" & informative videos for us - thank you Adam. We love you Brother.👍

I know this video is about budget rifles, but if a guy can swing another $2-300 before glass on a rifle you can get an even better rifle that not only shoots well but has a more quality feeling with better machining, smoother bolt, a better stock, and usually a little better trigger. With rifles like the Tikka T3X lite, Bergara B-14 hunter, and Howa 1500’s.

Love the list!!! I need a new bolt action. Much appreciated.

I just got a new Savage Axis chambered in 350 Legend, to my knowledge they're the only one that make them in a left hand version. You can get the Ruger American in a lefty but I don't rhink they make them in that cartridge.

this summer worked up handloads at max levels for ruger ranch 300 bo bolt gun and cva stainless single shot in 350 legend. both with scopes in the $150 or less range and in 1-6x and 2-7x respectively. both rigs ended up shooting two shot one hole groups at 50 yds in the backyard. took some work and experimentation at the loading bench, but not a single factory round shot in them....which was my goal in the first place. who knows what they would have done on a calm day at 100 with at least a $150 class 3-9x optic on a heavy bench instead of a rest in the driveway on a $35 menards folding plastic table???? thanks wtw for your input and encouragement during the process!!!! in about a month, single shot deer season for my son. for the record, ruger single shot sled only functions with the ar pattern magazine ranch guns, not the older rotary mag ranch models....that was a $250 mistake. ouch!

CVA kicks ass. I have one 308 short barrel. Just got scout pistol in 300 blackout. Im a big fan of Bergara. CVA is a budget friendly Bergara.

Love the savage axis, they are shooters, also have a few of the Ruger Americans and a couple howa 1500’s all excellent guns. Good hunting rifles. Step up a notch and the Weatherby Vanguard’s and CVA Cascade XT’s are awesome guns.

I’ve got a different experience with my Savage axis. Just doesn’t shoot worth a darn no matter what ammo Ive tried. And frankly it turned me off anything from savage. And Savage pulled a real bum move with only making the axis in long action so they only had to make one action type and just chambering short action rounds giving up the benefits of a short action cartridge.

I have both the savage axis and the ruger American and they shoot fantastic

Another great video, Hootle-heimer! I have had rifles from every maker on your list, except for the Howa and the CVA. What a blessing that we are able to get tack-driving bullet-launchers at working man prices. 🤗 MAGA Dammit! 😎

I had a feeling the cascade would come up in this video lol totally understand the price point being why it was not included in the top 5 though

Great video buddy

Very good list. Can agree from personal experience on the Howa 1500 rifle. Both of mine does really well, 0,56” and 0,44” groups. Anything CZ will be very durable and accurate.

My Howa didn't shoot at all the first 80 shots - I'm talking 2-4" at 100yds. Got a suppressor and it immediately shrunk down to 1". Eventually got habdloads with 165gr Nosler AccuBonds. Never tested seating depth/COAL, Just guessed 2.810" and tried powder charges in .5gr increments... every 3 shot group was sub 0.5" and when I did test shots once I got them loaded it shot a .175" 3 shot and a .45" 9 shot group... needless to say, I absolutely love this thing. Have 700 shots through it now and have no complaints except that the bolt knob keeps turning loose because I don't have lock tite lol

Great budget choices. Maybe you can do a video on great budget ammo selections for Deer hunters. I see 308 and 350 legend plinking ammo for cheap and that makes for a good hunter. The 30-30 hunting ammo is sometimes as cheap as 308 plinking ammo at a buck a pop. What other calibers are a good choice these days?

Awesome review when are you gonna see a best budget zoomie for your rifle video? I’m interested in some optic choices I see you use a lot of different ones

Great job on that!

I had an older Savage m10 in .243 that would practically shoot one hole groups. I got it at Wally World about 20 years ago on clearance for $200. I'm not sure if it was a good choice, but I sold it so I could buy a Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 compact rifle in 7mm-08. I've only been able to use it one deer season, but it killed the deer dead right where it stood, but so did the 243. I wish I could have both, but my budget wouldn't allow it.

Excellent Great Video 💯 Luv all of them 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

The only one on your list that I would not buy is the Mossberg Patriot I like the gun I have in 375 Ruger but would NEVER buy another one. It shoots patterns instead of groups I called Mossberg and their response was we don't give any accuracy guarantee on our rifles. So I will never ever use this rifle for hunting. Glad you got a good one.

Thanks Adam!

Who else has issues with the axis in 308 for light primer strikes, hang fires? Even after I got an updated pin spring it seems like the only centerfire I own that fails to fire maybe 2 out 20 rounds

The HOWA in laminate is sweet looking.

Wasnt expecting the cz600

@WHOTEEWHO

I've thought about it

cz 600 is nice as it is a great deal for a CRF rifle which isn't all that common nowadays. howa 1500 would be my choice for a modern push feed. Weatherby puts these actions in a nice stock and calls it the vanguard. if you are willing to go the surplus route, can't beat a swede m96, or for a bit more, a swede m38, both in 6.5x55 Swedish. check out 9 hole reviews for accuracy proof with irons.

Maybe for benchrest target shooting; however, lugging a heavy-barreled rifle around is not as enjoyable as most believe. It also requires a supported position for the majority of hunters, especially when waiting for game to move for the correct shot.
