Also look at the Stevens Mod 200 which is a Savage 110 action. Mossberg 100ATRs also. New they both run under $300 so if you find one used it should be a decent deal.

Go to your local gunshop and take your $150 and put one of the above in lay-away. $25.00 a month and you'll have it in 6 months just in time to sight it in for deer season. Choose a caliber like a 30-06because of factory ammo choices andwill be the most reasonable to shoot.

Another option. Buy a used in-line muzzleloader. A good quality muzzleloader will drop any deer out to 150 yds and beyond and you can find good used ones under $200 and usually all the testing has been done foraccurate loads. Sabotloader has one listed right now and i always have at least one sitting around i would let go for around the same price. I use a muzzleloader almost exclusively in Michigan. Having a ML will also extend your deer season without having to buy two rifles.
