Hi new to the forums and recently just got my PAL.

Dumb question. With a budget of around 5-600 bucks, what would be a decent bolt action rifle to look into? .223/270/30-06 would be a bonus.
thanks for the help.

Savage Axis is usually a good deal

You can pick up a mosin nagant for like 100 bucks...powerful old school rifle and its accurate as hell.

Welcome and congrats on the PAL. Savage Axis is hard to beat for the money. If you're on a shoestring budget with ammo and going by your list, .223 is cheapest out of the bunch and easy to get in bulk so you can shoot a lot more at the range unless you get into reloading then the world of more expensive calibers is your oyster.

Any firearm you choose is dependent upon your intended use. Hard to help with so little info.

What do you plan on using the rifle for?

Another vote for a Savage Axis, if you are new to shooting I would pick up a 22 LR first though if you don’t have one. Savage makes a Mark II which is available in wood that’s around $200. A 22 LR is cheaper to feed and easier to practice with than a centerfire, you don’t need a much room to fire one, and don’t have to worry about noise as much. A .223 is generally used for something different than a .270 or 30-06 is.
