Best deer/elk rifle on the market at the most reasonable price?

My boyfriend has a Tikka 30 ot 6 so I can handle the kick even though this will be my first ';Grown up gun!';





And I just want to get an idea of the best rifles you can get at a decent price.

If you're looking for a modern firearm, you should check out Savage Rifles. They produce some really good rifles, accurate right out of the box, and sell them at some of the best prices.

Aside from buying a newer rifle, you could also look into an old battle riffle, like the Springfield 1903 or a Mauser. Those guns have taken countless numbers of deer for more than a half century, and are among the better of rifles, if you can get your hands on one.





Good luck, and happy hunting.





By the way, I hunt with a Marlin 336C that my grandfather used to shoot.Best deer/elk rifle on the market at the most reasonable price?
Ammunition for the 30-06 (30 ot 6) is readily available and it is an excellent caliber for overall hunting in North America. You have a good selection of bullet weights, the rifles are available from almost all firearms manufacturers and it doesn't have a rough recoil.





(The best built rifles in the world are made by Weatherby and presently they are having a $399 special so you might want to consider one.)





If you are hunting primarily in brush country, I'd also recommend the Marlin 336C in .35 Remington.

It may not have the range of the 30-06 but it's more suitable for crashing through brush country. The Marlin 336C is unquestionable one of the most popular, reliable, and effective deer rifles of all time. Its 20'; barrel and full length magazine allow it to get on target fast and yet swing smoothly. Overall length is a compact 38.5'; and it weighs 7 pounds.





This famous lever action carbine offers a solid top receiver for strength and easy scope mounting, forged steel parts, and a checkered, pistol grip stock made from genuine American black walnut. When you heft a Model 336 and cycle the action you can feel the quality.





The contemporary Model 336 calibers are .30-30 Winchester and .35 Remington. Both are proven venison getters, but if a bruin black bear wanders into your camp, the .35 Remington might be the preferred cartridge choice.
Well, in my opinion the rifle itself is not so important.


At 150 yards every rifle is quite accurate, and your target is pretty big.


Actually I'm considering one Weatherby Vanguard or one Mark V for myself.. but to be sincere this choose is important only for my self-sactisfation and not for the hunting itself! One old Mouser would be good exactly like the Weatherby!





More important is the caliber: you are hunting for big games (actually here there are not elks, I have not seen any in my life and i envy a little you! ;) ) and in the hunting one of the most important thing is to have the game died in the shortest and painless way.


So you have to choose one big caliber, or at least one magnum one.


May be one .300 Winchester magnum, or .300 Weatherby magnum if you are planning to shoot long (more than 200 yards), or if you are hunting in woods at 80-150 yards it would be preferrable one 9.3 x 64 that has an incredible shocking effect and in the brush, because of its weight, can mantain its trajectory quite well even if hurts leafs, little branches and so on. I love this caliber.





Don't choose one 30-06: it's good for everything and best for nothing. It's better to have two different rifle for different games: little like roe deer and little wild pig and big like elks and big hogs.





I suggest you to use one recoil attenuator if you are scared by the recoil: it can be reduced by 52%: so one magnum caliber will kick less than one 30-06.





Another important thing is the optic: choose one good one.


Is better one 30$ rifle with 400$ optic than one 400$ rifle with 30$ optic.





Let me know what will you choose.. and if possible send one picture of your first prey!
Check out the Savage Website. I believe model 10. But 30-06 and heres why.


1. Cheap ammo


2.Can find it just about anywhere


3. is capable of great distances, the '03 has elevated sites out to 1000 yards, and it was used very much to that distance


4. available in a variety of grains from 150 to 220's


5 is an all around gun.
The Savage package in 300 Winchester Mag. Yeah that's a big gun but the beauty is that you can get ammunition's loaded down around the 30-06 range. When you get into it move up on the loads and it will floor a elk with ease. Here is a look at a complete package deal with scope.

have to agree...Savage is probibly the go to gun right now-right out of the box. Not too expensive,very accurate,ammo is reasonable, they've got a neat 'package deal' for a decent price...and a newer trigger that's more shooter friendly....the ll0 is nice. Good reputation also. It gets my bid.
