I need a good deer gun before the gun season opens in Georgia (Oct. 19). I've used shotguns, but would like a rifle. I'm 15, to young for a public job, so I've done odd jobs and saved some money. Anybody have any suggestions for a good deer rifle or shotgun that's in the $200-300 range?

get a 700 with a pre '64 extractor cambered for the 30-06. the only rifle you'll need for anything from varmint to moose and bear.

MOA,
Why do you like the pre '64 extractor (with the rivet) over the post '64 without the rivet?
