RE: If you had $200-$300 spend?
If i were you, I would go with a cva optima. These guns are very great guns for the price. I just got mine this year for 230$. I lined it in a few weeks ago and its a real tack driver. It drove 245gr powerbelt bullets hole for hole at 100 yards. They come in synthetic or camo stock, with a blued or nickle barrel and reciever. Definately check out this gun. Its so much easier to clean and load where its a break open action.
