Names like Colt, sw, Winchester, Remington, browning, walther, sig, ruger all have better resale potential on the back end. and that is real important. Pay a little more now get more on the back end.

Colt has never made a bolt action rifle, other than the Colt-Sauer one, and then even that was made by Howa/Husquavarna. Same with S&W.
Winchester and Reminton both lost quality a few decades ago, and Remington doesn't even exist - various parts of it were purchased last year in bankruptcy sales.
Browning - over priced for what it is. Would rather pay half the price for a Howa or Weatherby Vanguard, made in the same factory.
Walther and Sig make great pistols, not aware of any (currently importable) rifles, or especially bolt guns.
Ruger is Ruger, and I prefer not to buy Ruger stuff due to Bill Ruger's politics and policies. Even though he is long dead and gone. My three Ruger firearms were all made before 1990.
