RE: Good Cheap Rifle For Elk and Deer
I have read several good reviews on the Stevens 200 in a few hunting and gun Magazines. All said it was a good shooter and reliable. The stock leaves something to be desired and I'd have to agree with that after holding one at the gun shop.
If it were me Id buy the Stevens if i wanted to go inexpensive but reliable

I would go with a 7 Mag. If you want a lil' more juice or a flat shooting long-range rifle, initially or later on, you can get it rechambered for a reasonable amount, to shoot STW rounds.
If you dopick up a 7 magwith the possibility of later creating an STW, I would stay away from the Remington Model 710. The Model 700 would be a better choice. It runs close to the same price but w/o a scope.

Our local Wal-Mart is selling Remington 700 ADL for $289. These have a 24 inch barrel, recoil pad, no sights, matt finish, and a synthetic stock. They had them in 243, 270, and 30-06. Seemed like a decent price on a fairly nice rifle.

All the guns mentioned should fit the bill for you,and are good choices. But the main thing is that there is nothing cheap now days,when you start talking about deer and elk hunting! vangunsmith
