The Ruger American: The best bolt-action rifle under $500 In the end, there are really only two rifles under $500 that I personally think you should consider: The Ruger American and the Savage Axis II. I have spent hundreds of hours testing rifles in the under $500 price range. So keep in mind as you read my review of these guns that I can only comment on what I have personally experienced with each brand. I get a lot of negative comments on my reviews of rifles in the inexpensive price range because I sometimes harp on a rifle that is inaccurate, and many commenters point out that theirs shoots well.

I realize some people are going to be upset with this post because I’m very frank about my opinions, but I’ll just say it how I see it. It can be tough to watch all the reviews and have a sense for where each rifle stacks up on the “Jim Scale”, so in this post, I’ll give it to you straight. Yes, I have an addiction, but I also do it so I can review them on Backfire. I have purchased just about every model commonly available in stores like Sportsmans Warehouse and Cabelas.
