I'm planning on buying either a 30-30, 30-06, or similar type of rifle soon. The thing is, I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking for. I'm trying to keep it around $250 if possible (before tax).

It won't be used too often, which is why I don't want to spend a good bit on one.

It would be used for hunting and target shooting. No real large game, but I would like the rifle to be powerful enough to take down boars.

I would like a bolt action, but those are too pricy for me. I do like the Winchester Model 94 and that is one that I'm leaning towards right now. I'm not sure the market price for it, but the msrp is $390. I'm hoping I can get it for less than $300.


Any suggestions or guidance, post away! I'm also looking for an online site with prices. Those seem to be very hard to find for some reason.

things that bad down there?

lol, nothing like being prepared!

i dont think you need a 30 06 thats pretty big for small game and targets. 30-30 would be fine. get a big pistol for boars. 357 or 44 with a 6-9 barrell.
guntrader.com or get a shot gun and shoot slugs.

yeah man get prepared, my dad just bought a 12 gauge because if another comes we staying again. we got looted last year. as for your 30-30 for a 30-06, get a lever-action 30-30, they are fun yet strong.

I tell you what, I had a friend who loaded shotgun cases with dimes, and when we shot his 12ga, if something was within 30ft of us, it was gone. Took a watermellon completely apart with one shot. it was fun, but expensive LMAO

anyway, you can always use a large marble in a shotgun case too. I swear my friend has tried them all.

lmao!! that is crazy about the dimes. ever taken the gun power out, put it in a ziploc bag and put it in a 2 liter bottle, put on the top, put a fuse to and blew it up? amazingly loud!!! so much fun, takes like 15-20 shells. tell him to try that

that is just crazy! when the gun blows up and he is seriously injured tell him i told you so.
