Who makes the Best $2000 rifles

[Hunter007]

Out of all the gun manufacturers who make hunting  rifles around $ 2000 or less today Which company do you think is least likely  to have problems ? Sell Lemons. All around   I mean .

I see I have my Dads 30.30 from about 1956-60 and works and shoots better than the new ones

If you spend $2000 on any rifle it better not be a lemon.

I approve this recommendation but I still say weatherby is best

When you get into that price range I would say most manufacturers will be putting out some pretty good stuff and will probably be reliable. More than anything else it will boil down to preferences of an action, it's styling and aesthetics, a Winchester Model 70 "Super Grade" in a caliber I like would satisfy me and substantially less than 2000.00

Shotguns are a different matter especially when it comes to doubles which I have a strong liking for but am short in the cash department. Been thinking seriously about a new O/U  for a long time, I think if I had two grand laying around for a new double it would have to be the American made Connecticut Revelation 20ga over and under for 1995.00

You're grandkids can pass that gun down to their grandkids and still be worth top dollar. Weatherby ammo can be super spendy but it's top notch for sure

Didn't you buy a hundred dollar break action single shot and then wondered why it was taking so long to repair?

What makes anyone think you'd buy a $2K rifle?

Frankly if you had the coin it'd be best spent shopping for something like a Hill Country , H+S or similar on the secondary market. I can put a Blaser together for about $2200, mine have been workhorses and 100%.

My weatherby does not fold in half fit in a backpack or way 4 pounds. apples to oranges

[Hunter007]

Changed out the wood stock it got damaged when I fell down a hill one time .

 

[Hunter007]

If they made a weatherby that was take down fit in a pack I would buy that in a second.

Since when do any of those I mentioned do any of that?

Go buy a Remington rust-o-special then.

Fact is there are a ton of great rifles new and used for $2K but you have to use your brain first to figure out what are the most important features and what are priority. Most of them you have never heard of because there are multiple makers that aren't in Outdoor Life or some dumb link in an on line ad.

Let me ask you this  are there gunsmiths that you know of that do conversions that could take one of the bolt guns I already have and turn it into a take down version?
