I'm a big fan of buying great used hunting rifles. I have 2 Sako carbine rifles. An AIII in .338 win mag and an AV in 30.06 both beautiful quick handling reliable rifles that's good out to about 300yds for me. I got them a few years ago well below their market value. I also picked up a used Marlin guid gun in 45.70. It was used but not abused and another great deal for under $600 CDN. Finding these rifles at the great prices was like nailing a trophy buck, scoring with Jessica Alba, and winning the lottery all at the same time.
