My cheapest guns are either 10/22s...one that has probably close to 15000 rounds through it, or a mosin nagant or a German K98.

Cheap guns are necessarily bad as long as they are quality. I KNOW when I pull out the ruger P90 it will shoot every time. it is built like a tank, heavy as one as well and probably about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of my nice 1911 springfield.
