RE: Best sub $200 deer rifle?
Another vote for the NEF single shot. 30-06 is a great caliber due to wide bullet selection. I shoot Federal Premium High Energy with a 180 gr Nosler Partition bullet which will drop most anything in North America. The new low-recoil loads is what my 10 yr old will start with and have about the kick of a .243. Now that is versatility especially for $200.
