Hard to beat a savage 110 series for the money. Accurate and durable. They have combos too. You can save even more and get the stevens 200 (which is a Savage 110 w/o the acutrigger for around 300 bucks. That leaves you more money for a better scope. Most of the experienced hunters who are teaching me say that you should spend twice as much on the scope as the rifle. I only wich I could find a $100.00 rifle LOL
