Help! Deer hunting rifle
 
Need a new deer rifle. I want to get most bang for buck. I know of a 15 yr old weatherby vanguard 270 mag for sale in perfect condition for 550 but I don't know if it's worth it. any suggestions on any rifles under 500 that are reliable accurate and will last would be much appreciated

Remington 700 in .270, 7mag, .30-06.

rifles under 500 that are reliable accurate and will last

Good luck with that!!!!
Best bet is to find a used one for that kind of money, Contact Southern151, I think he still has a rifle for sale.

savage is gonna be best bet, what caliber you looking for and I guess you are looking for gun only no scope package

BIGJ 12-15-2011 03:57 PM

IMO, I wouldn't spend 10 cents for a Savage.

Marlin XL7 in 30-06 or .270

i have a winchester model 70 .270. Bought it for $110 about 9 years ago. It came with a tasco "varmint" scope.

Just tried to get the rem 700 7mm mag and got delayed. That's bs I hate this stupid *** system. Bought a shotgun 4 months ago with no problem. Need a deer rifle today they can keep their up to 30 days.

If it ain't a browning bar I don't shoot it. I have browning bar2 safaris in 30.06,270, 308, and 7mm. Great guns. All I shoot/collect. I ve had them for years with no problems. But 500 ain't gonna get it. Savage and marlin are junk IMO only.

Everybody has there opinions, I don't own a savage but they're not the guns they used to be, they've come a long way, the newer models areVery, very
accruate.

will agree 100%, I don't see why people think you need a $1000+ gun and $2000+ scope to shoot a deer....I have a Marlin 30-30 with a$100 scope that I will put up aginst any gun on the market for less then 100yrd shot, sure I have a Browning BAR 270 and Browning A-bolt 270WSM but I will take my Marlin over them any day...... it all comes down to what you are comfortable with and put time in with, just my opinion ;)

Buddy of mine bought his son a .308 marlin express in the Stainless & laminate, I had the pleasure of being with him & sighting it in. That dude is impressive!!!!!!! It's a tack driver.

that will be next rifle I buy, very nice gun

BIGJ 12-15-2011 10:16 PM

I have shot Brownings all my life. Bought one Savage about two years ago and it is a piece of junk. It is a bolt action and hangs up... go figure. I will not spend another dollar on a Savage product. And thats not an opinion, that is a fact.

jchief 12-15-2011 10:20 PM

I have had good luck with the Rem 700 in 270
