I've seen reviews saying it's very good, but I've also seen the same said about budget rifles. I would like to know if this rifle is worth the money, and if it will last. I was originally looking at a Mossberg Patriot in .308 with a walnut stock, but if for only a few hundred dollars more I can get a way better rifle that's what I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you don't buy a BDL because it is more accurate because it is not you buy it because it is a accurate gun that has better fit and finish and pride of ownership. if a hunting gun is going to be used in rough conditions I would not get the BDL as I would hat to scratch and dent the nice finish on the wood only you can decide if the extra cost is worth it

Over the years I've found that rifles with the fantastic plastic stocks and pillar bedding are the most accurate and reliable though not as pretty. Heat dries wood out and rain/humidity makes it swell. I've been shooting a little Savage 116 Lightweight Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor for some time now and love it. Killed 4 deer so far with it from 80 to over 300 yards.
