Stevens 200 or Mossberg 100 ATR

[neck4752]

Ok Guys I am in the market for a rifle seeing as I will hunt a state that allows you to hunt with a rifle. Any how I dont want to spend much. One gun store told me they could get me a Stevens 200 for $300, and the Mossberg 100ATR is on sale at another place for $225. I am thinking of going with the 30.-06. Also what is a good scope for under $100. I want a bargain rifle that will last years and get a few deer under its belt?

Thanks

Jim

Either one of the rifles will do the trick. Which one fits you best and looks best to you? The 30.06 is a time tested caliber and will take anything on the continent. As far as the scope goes, I don't think you can get a good scope for $100. Go to www.opticstalk.com and look at their scope prices and don't overlook the "samplelist" listings on the left of the page for used/refurbished yet guaranteed scopes. Lot of good choices there, and if you have any questions they have a courteous staff that you can call or e-mail with any questions. They have rings and mounts also.

go with the mossberg idk bout 100$ scope if so then get the remington model 710 its 324$ and comes with a bushnell thats just what i got yesterday and its a nice gun

I'd get the Stevens. My father in law has one in .243 and its quite the shooter. The Stevens cost alittle less than the mossy around here. $100 scope will be adequate, but nothing special. Do yourself a favor, avoid the 710 at all costs. There are several dealers in my area that won't take them in trade...too many problems.
