For a good cheap deer rifle you can not go wrong with the NEF' s they are a practical rifle for the money minded hunter.I have 1 in 25-06 rem,I bought it last year.Then I found out you can get diffret barrles for it AND THEY ARE CHEAP compared to T/C.You just have to send it back to the factory for fitting.I now have 4 barles for it(450 marlin,22-250 Bull,20 ga.,and 280 rem 26" )and I think I' m in to it around $600.00.The gun cost about 250.00 and it will kill deer out to 500 yrds.BBJ
