Default RE: Best sub $200 deer rifle?

Don't overlook the NEF rifles. Walmart will get them for you if you can't find a local dealer. An NEF rifle will cost you 200.00 new at Wally World. You can get it in 243. 308,270, 30-06 280, 2506 44 Mag and 45-70. You can get wood or synthetic stock. They shoot good and though they are single shot, you can reload pretty fast. I have several. I have the 280 which has a 26 inch barrel. I bought it used for 199.00 with a 4X scope already on it. Some people think they are an ugly gun but when you can buy it new for about 200.00 it starts to look better when you fire a three shot group and walk down and look at the target, It really starts looking good. My 280 will shoot three shot groups well under 1 1/2 inches. What more can you ask of a 200.00 gun. They have a web site and you can see them there. They also have a dealer map page to show you where to find them. Another plus to them is that you can send them in for different barrels and its less than 100.00 to get another caliber barrel for them. You won't find much for used guns under 200.00. After the seasons are over you might get a better deal. Good hunting. try this site. hr1871.com
