I' m in the market for a new rifle that will serve as my primary deer gun and was hoping some of ya' ll could give some advice. I' m really looking for something that can do the job, but for a reasonable price. Bottom line, what' s the best buy on the market right now?

One more thing, anybody got any opinions on the Marlin 1849s? Those are some nice lookin lever actions.

Thanks for any help,
