Got to agree with jmfa1957. Up here in Canada, Norma ammo can be had for the equivalent of $20-24 USD. You owe it to the game you hunt to use good quality ammo, not the cheap hunter specials available which may not be that accurate and, then, who do you blame if the deer is wounded and lost?

Aside from the factory offerings - Tikka's T3-Lite is a great buy; also consider the milsurp Swedish Mauser M38s - bit heavier, wooden stock, iron sights and a great history to go with it. I have 3 that I enjoy shooting just as much as the T3 and any is barely less accurate than the T3.
