A friend of mine would like to buy a good budget deer rifle, would you guys suggest some good single shot, bolt action, or lever action rifles for under 300 dollars and state their actual price please. thnx

Remington, Savage and Stevens all have scoped bold action rifles that you can find for around $300. The caliber selection is somewhat limited though.

DO NOT BUY A REMINGTON 710!

Check out the Savage "package" deals at Wal-Mart - under $340, scope included, in 270Win., 30-06.

Give the Stevens model 200 a good look, they are made by Savage, very accurate and dependable, you should be able to find one scoped and ready to go for around 300. IMO they are hard to beat for the money.

Everybody else was able to answere my question lol but u know if it would be as you said (stupid) to answere my question with the little information ive given you, i guess that means you are calling all these nice people who answered my question stupid........ but thats between you and the other guys. Tnks for the info guys much appreciated. I think i will check into a nef handi rifle in 25-06.

lol, I read your question one time and got ALL the info I needed from it! I to have to throw my name into the hat in recommending the Stevens model 200. It is simply a plain jane, 110 model Savage without the Accu-trigger and with a very basic synthetic stock and so-so bluing. BUT being a Savage it will do THE most important thing a gun is supposed to do... SHOOT WELL. We retail them for $279.

I won't go into specifics with regards too caliber other than to say you won't go wrong with the old standards like the .270, 30/06 or the 7mag. Scopewise, I would recommend you stay away from the under $100 POC that are flooded on the market right now. For about $150 you can get a 3x9x40 ProStaff Nikon that is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the other "under $200" scopes on the market.

That's a package that wont win any beauty contests but will last for years, shoot well and wont leave you wishing you had bought something "better". For the money I can't think of a better, tougher package that has the potential to shoot the lights out!!!
