$300 rifles

[gadwall]

I'd opt for walmart first. They have weatherby vanguards on clearance for $300 even. The M.V. had one in 7mm mag and 300wby as of last night...have the synthetic tan "speckled" stock.

Next choice would be a Stevens. The plastic stock is junky, but you get the savage action and easy of swapping barrels. Good aftermarket support and a good track record. Can be had new for under $300 after tax.

I also have a handi-rifle or two. Great shooters...my .204 will shoot sub .75" @100yds all day. The only problem is it is sensitive to how you rest it on the bags, and if you take the handguard off and don't torque it back to the exact same spec your POI will be off...a little or a lot...

JMHO.

i saw them at black sheep last weekend in clarkston for 359 or so i think. if i remember it was a 300wm, maybe that makes the price go up  a little.
also saw the howas for 359 at tri state.

If I had $300 burning a hole in my pocket for a new rifle, I'd buy a Mossberg 4x4

If I was looking to spend 300 bucks on a rifle, I would hit every pawn shop, and used gun shop in the area, and see what they have.  Find that Remmy or Browning that just needs some TLC.  As long as the stock is not broke, and the barrel has not been messed with or shot out, it will shoot.

I have the marlin XL7 and it sees to be a good gun this far couple good write ups and paid under

Sportman's warehouse has a 7mm mag and 300winmag for $249. They have all the others for $269-289 IIRC. Not sure why the mags are one clearance, but they are flawless.

This is the burlington, WA store...BTW.

--EDIT-- Holy crap! They've raised the prices to $289-$319!
They still have the 7mm and 300 mags for $249 each, though!
