Nothing wrong with 30.06 for deer 100m or less. Wouldn't use it for elk, though.
I'm not sure where you're at, but here that is a $200 rifle. Throw a badass optic and still $300 tops. GUN FRIENDLY STATE, THOUGH
Yeah I just looked at some prices online and they are no where near 400.... I does come with some ammonia and a bipod and scope but Stilll
Don't go real cheap. Savage makes a hell of a rifle. Thompson Center make a budget model also that I love. Killed many deer in Florida with it. My favorite calipers is .270. That and 30-06 will kill any animal in North America. You just have to choose the correct grain of bullet and know how to shoot your rifle and different distances.
These little Florida deer don't need but a 90-130gr bullet. Elk and northern deer because they are denser need a 180gr. I've taken 300yd shots with my rifle on 2 separate occasions.
Optics will make your life easier with a lower end rifle.
I love sticking with the 556 and 308 but I reload so it's cheaper for me to do that the 30 06 is an awesome hunting rifle

Depends on your game....a ,270 will kill anything in N. America. ...No not those kind of guns... I'm taking about rifles!! What are the best hunting rifles out there for cheap... What caliber should one go with ?
I swear I didn't read this before I posted. .... My favorite calipers is .270. That and 30-06 will kill any animal in North America. You just have to choose the correct grain of bullet and know how to shoot your rifle and different distances..
