Sounds like our wives have us in the same boat. I'm limited to moderate spending or trading for the time being. She's wearing me out about a house!
Are you looking for a rifle/scope package or do you want to mount your own optics?

[kusterleXD]

Either one suits me just fine. The package deal may be more ecinomical though.

[spittinfire]

I'll keep an out for you.

2x Tango.
Look at Stevens 200 and consider .308 but 30.06 to me is where it's at.

Anybody ever shoot a Weatherby Vanguard rifle? I just came across them on Cabela's and they have excellent reviews there.

The Weatherby Vanguard is a Howa 1500 with a different stock. Good rifles.

first deer rifle i got and still use is a lee enfield .303 my grand daddy had and gave to me to fix up, it shoots really well ammo is kinda expensive though, 30$ a box of 20 or reloads for about half the price but here in wv ive dropped a couple of deer with it and it worked quite well.

I got a barely used HOWA 1500 in .270 Win a few years ago with the Simmons Aetec 2.8X10 scope and two boxes of Ammo for $400.00

I have not yet used it for hunting but did work up a load for it the other day. Shooting a 130 Gr. Sierra Pro Hunter with 53.2 Gr of IMR 4350. I am happy with this group.

Here is 150 Gr. Remington Core Lokt White Tail Pro Hunter factory Ammo out of the Howa 1500 in .270

This gun has about a 4.5 lbs. trigger pull.

I'm not that up to date on bolt guns but I bought a Rem. 700 in .270 win and I am very happy with my purchase its a nice light weight gun for when you have to hike up and down the pa mountains and as far as the shooting I kept a 1.5 group of 5 at 100 yards and I am not that good of shot lol so in my opinion you can't go wrong with the rem 700
