Jeez, you don't have to buy something thats that much... All you need is a little shopping around. I got my gun deer stuff for about 70 dollars. I found a very warm blaze orange winter suit, for like, 70% off. Got a nice hat for 15 too. Just gotta look at Gander Mountain.

Im also using my dads 30-06. After 20 years it shoots very nicely, and is a beautiful gun.
