Get a Savage or Stevens in .243. I have seen a lot of deer killed with them and they also work real good on coyotes. Another option is the Mossberg rifles available from Wal-mart.

Good luck and don't let anyone tell you you can't get a good gun on a budget.

I love the 25-06 but too close to your .270
Spend your $ on reloading stuff.

Savage rifles are the most accurate rifles for the $ and usually otherwise.
Cosidering conditions are well and...
"If you can hold her steady and true",the Savage will connect out to your 600 yard mark.
.243Win is the closest "common&cheap" "smaller bullet"cartridgecompareable to the .270Win

.284 = 7mm

6mm/.284 = Wildcat cartridge based on the .284 Win case necked down to 6mm (.243). It is popular with the accuracy crowd, and an amazing long-range varminter!

cheap and 500 yds dont go together

Good one zrex ROTFLMAO...............
In Mn you cant hunt deer with anything smaller then .23 but I have fun varmit shooting with my PLR-16 and my AR15's. at 11-12cents a round you cant go wrong.........

You want a bad arse accurate rifle for$300 or less, forranges out to 500 & 600-yards?
Put down the crack pipe & come back down to earth.
You will have to look in pawn shops for a good used rifle.

Good luck

duh used
