Give the Savage line of rifles a good look, You should have money left over and a gun thats hard to beat for accuracy and dependability right out of the box. Also Savage makes a Stevens line of rifles, Should be able to pick one of those up for around 250 to 275.

If you can't find anything new that you are happy with. You can usually find really good guns at a pawn shop. Just b/c its used doesn't mean its not any good. I have a really good friend that works in a pawn shop and he tells me all the time of people bringing almost brand new guns in there, and I don't mean cheap ones either. And with the economy like this, everyone needs money, so the pickings are good right now.

Bass Pro had a stevens model 200 which is made by savage for $249
I have a Ruger all weather in 06 and I have seen theese on sale for $479

I would look Stevens or maybe used. Try to not get sucked into the packages that uses a really cheap scope, you will end up spending more$ down the road. Some bolts have open sights, that may be a way to get yourself hunting this year with a better gun and then purchase a scope when your finances allow. I always find myself saving money now and not being happy with the product later. The open sights this year may help you avoid that.

Open sights may be a good suggestion, but personally, I wouldn't go with it. Just for the plain fact that you can't see them during "shooting hours".

I'd recommend Howa or Savage. You can find package deals from both that include the gun and scope ( usually not the highest quality scope ), but servicable. Like was said check out the local pawn shops, great deals to be had just got to be a little picky.

Remington ADL is another good one and you will still have money left over for a decent scope. I paid 350 for my 300 mag ADL.

Stevens + bushnel banner + weaver base and rings

Or

Handy rifle + the above scope and mounts

Go to Walmart and check out their combo deals. They usually have '06s and .270s w/ scopes for decent prices. Either that or check your local classifieds for a used gun w/ scope...

GunsAmerica - The Honor System Gun Classifieds

RE: only got 490.00 dollars get new gun scope ne ideas
 

Rebel Hogs idea of Guns America is a good one. I sold a gun there and it worked out great. If anything else it is a great way to quickley see what the market price is. I printed out the price from Guns America and took it to a local gunshop and he matched the price and got the business.

i would not recommend a pawn shop they seem to wont as much or more for the gun then you can get it new
i bought a 30 30 last year paid 275 then seen the same one at wal mart new with a scope for 300 went to onther pawn shop bought a mossburg12 ga then seen it new for 50 buck more wal mart hasnice 30 06 and othercals for any where from 200 to 500 dollors i would recommend buying a gun then a scope the 30 30 i bought had a factory scope that was on when it was bought new and come to find out it was a rim fire scope and every shot would shack the sight off

Stevens Model 200. Basicly a Savage 110 without the acutrigger. Poly stock and darned acurate. Most 110 will shoot at or under an inch if you take the time to find a load. but 1.5" is fine.
You can probably buy one in '06 for around 325 bucks, leaving you 150 for a nikonprostaff. or leupold rifleman Or if optical quality is important, consider a fixed power scope at 3x or 4x. You can find a used US made Leupold M8 in 4X on ebay for 100-150 bucks. I keep my scopes on 3x ,ost of hte time anyway so I wasted the extra bucks on the variable power thing. Plus fixed power scopes are lighter, tougher and do not shift zero as easily. GOOD LUCK.
