Not going to be easy to find a bolt action for under $250 unless you find something used. On VERY rare occasions, you can find 700 ADL's on sale for between $249 and $286.
Mossberg 100 ATR is on sale now at Academy for $286. Academy's regular price on 700 ADL's is $308, I think. The base line Savages run around $300.
