Got a friend of mine wanting to buy a deer rifle. He wants to get a rifle/scope combo that is priced in the $600 range. I know that he's not going to get a great gun, but what do y'all suggest? Caliber doesn't really matter.

go to classifieds. you can get a whole lot for $600. Any of these new guns, Ruger american, MArlin x7, T/C Venture, Remington 700 are shooters. I bought a used savage 110 last year for a spare gun for $275 scoped and all that will shoot cloverleafs at 100 yards. Just depends on if he wants new or not and what he plans to do with it.

I have a Savage Axis in 308 and it's a great consistent shooter. Topped it with a Leupold. I was well under $600 in total.
Remington model 700 bdl or cdl - 600 range on gunbroker
Float the barrel and adjust the trigger- free with about 30 minutes labor and find what it likes to eat and it will cloverleaf at 100 yds all day long

I have a 3 month old Tikka T3 .243 with a Vortex Diamondback HP mounted on it in Warne Rings that I could sell for $700. It also has a limbsaver installed on it.
It is sighted in and ready to go. Has about 20 shots down the tube, one of which my buddy's son took a nice buck with during the juvy hunt. I am in Memphis but could drive as far as Gander Mtn. in Jackson to meet.
