I understand its a gun. I dont want to kill things. I just want a nice long range gun for target practice and stuff. I also understand i look younge, and well stop being a prick to me, once you have my drivers lisc. and you know i am old enuff to buy weapons. I realy wasnt happy with the whole ordeal. however i still would like to get a long range sniper rifle. mid to long range. Looking to spend upto around 500 bucks. on the gun alone. Pics and some help would me nice?
Any bolt action chambered in .30-06 is good for deer. For a sniper rifle though, most people go for a .308 (7.62mm NATO). For a decent bolt action, like a Remington 700 or Winchester Model 70, you'll have to spend more than $500, more like $700.
If you a want cheaper deer gun, a lever action rifle chambered in 30-30 will work fine but the range is probably only 200 yards or less.
