What gun do I get??

[Bob33]

Just curious: what is it about your 270 that you don't like?

Look at the savages.  You should be able to find one in 223 with scope for around 400.  It wont be a high end scope but it should get the job done until you can afford to upgrade.  Like everyone else said, check for used guns.  I once bought a 223 ruger  m77 mark II for a little over 400.  I should have kept that gun.

How about a new stock for the .270....  You already have a great caliber for the task, already have a scope....  You would save a buttload of money and could spend your savings on a ton of ammo...

This could be a starter gun as well!!

How about a lightweight .243? That way you can hunt big game with it also.

Bob33.. I love my .270 I use it for bear and coyotes, but I just want a smaller caliber to have fun with. I hunt deer and elk with a bow so I'm not worried about that. The reason why I dont wanna spend a lot of money is because I'm 18 and I dont have a lot of money to spend. ha

I've been thinking of getting a 17hmr myself, most folks don't seem to give them enough credit.

Once you shoot a .17 hmr, you'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner.  They are FUN FUN FUN!  I like them so much I just bought my second one, a CZ with a BSA Sweet 17 scope for $300.00.  I know that shooting Coyotes with it would be pushing it, but if bullet placement is right, it should do the job.  In States like Michigan, it is only legal to shoot coyotes with a rimfire.

My other .17hmr is a Savage with the plastic stock.  Super accurate, and they run under $200. I've shot hundreds of Ground Squirrels and many Rockchucks, and it's a deadly little round.  I put a better scope on it, because the Simmons Whitetail 3x9 was hard on my eye when i used it to scan for Squirrels all day.

Champ 41;  if you want a good scope for a fun gun, I'll sell ya the Simmons 3x9 CHEEP!  Perfectly good scope--just not good to look thru for hours at a time.
