RAPs and Howa 1500s are easily some of the best budget options for some multi purpose rifles. They shoot well and when paired with a simple Boyd?s stock you have a very capable platform for hunting or target shooting. Caliber will dictate the rest but I have not had a bad shooter yet from neither after 30+ assemblies for family and friends. Howas actions are smoother out the gate but triggers are a step behind Rueger. Rushers will smooth out action wise with a small polishing and use and triggers adjust surprisingly well with no aftermarket springs needed. Howas do best if you order the spring replacement from the Aussie on eBay. The grrrr and the 6 Creed are my two favorite rifles right now...Howa and RAP respectively
