RE: Best sub $200 deer rifle?
The classified ads are the best places to find good deals. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a good deal on a rifle and scope. Somebody will inherit some guns or win them in a divorce that could care less about owning a gun. They just want money fast. It takes a little patience, but it can pay off big if you get lucky. What we know as a Remington 700 .270 with a 3x9 Leupold is just a gun and a scope to some people. Flash $200 in front of them and you'll be bringing it home.
Seems like everytime I buy something, within a month somebody has the same thing for sale in the Thrifty Nickel. The only difference is I bought mine new and spent more money. [:@]
