A little backstory here, I used to have a .243 rifle my dad bought for me, but in recent years my family fell on hard times and had to sell most of their posessions, and with that I lost my rifle and my fathers rifles. I am currently in the navy over in Japan. I get out for good in 6 months, just in time for deer season.

I am currently looking for a trustworthy and dependable deer rifle. Currently I'm looking at a Savage Arms 11/111 in either .270 or 30-06.

I am not looking to spend over a thousand dollars since money might be an issue in the future. Looking for advice and tips, thank you.
