Default 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
