Default thoughts of a deer rifle come back.

i was thinking if worse comes to worse i'll borrow one of my grpa's. but i've been thinking maybe i could find a cheap package gun or a used gun. i'm thinking of probably a bolt in anything EXCEPT a 30-06. i want to get a 30-06 in a browning bar after i get a REAL job. so maybe a 7mmo8 or a 270 or something like that. anyone have any suggestions on used rifles? what do pawn shops sale guns for these days?

Hard to go wrong with a Savage. New or used they are a good value. As far as cartridge choice goes, I like the 7mm-08, but the 270 Win is good too. I went looking at a few pawn shops around here a few days ago and I found that gunshops that deal in used firearms generally have much better deals and better condition guns.

Definately the Savage if you're on a budget. Nothing wrong with Savage even if you aren't on a budget, but for the price they are hare to beat.

hey quilly that site looks EXCELLENT. have you had any problems with that website?

as for guns im thinking either a 7mmO8, 270 winchester, or a 308 winchester. later on in life i'll get a 30-06 in a browning bar and probably a 300 winchester mag for bigger game. right now i just need a regular rifle that will do a good job on a deer and i can't think of any better calibers than those three. im not wanting a magnum for whitetail because i see NO SENCE in getting a magnum for a poor whitetail. thanks for the site quilly i'll take a look around.

jjoel..

they sell and recieve new used guns every day. as for the 30-06's they have 29 there now. about 2 months ago they had about 53 so there selection changes day to day.
by the way how far are you shots averaging? i would pick either the 270win or the 308win. or how about the 260rem?? another good deer caliber. you can get a 140gr. bullet just like the 7mm-08rem. but that is just my opinion.
