Here's my list:

1. Winchester 94, 30-30
2. Remington Model 700 BDL, either 30-06/270 or 308/243 (those are the calibers I see most often under $400)
3. Remington Model 760, 30-06 or 270
4. Savage 99, 300 Savage
5. JC Higgins FN Mauser actioned sporter, 30-06 or 270.

All of the above I've either bought, or seen for sale, for under $400. In fact, depending on condition most on that list can he had for $350 or under. One reason I'm not too excited about the Savage Edge or Marlin XL7 grin

So, what would your choices be?


Where are you finding decent Savage 99s these days for under $400?

I have two J.C. Higgins Model 50 Mausers, both in 30-06. They are excellent rifles and very accurate. I get a big kick out of it that you can buy such a superb rifle for under $400 just because Sears marketed it. If everybody knew how good they were, the price would go up, so don't tell anyone, OK? grin

That's kind of funny: totally contradicts your name.

Hey, It's not really a contradiction - I just like to shoot and I can shoot a lot more when the ammo is cheaper - and I'm not getting the snot kicked out of me. crazy I probably shoot my Feinwerkbau 300 recoiless air rifle more than any other rifle.

On the used market I've grabbed huskies and decent older customs for close to that. Not to mention mdl 700's and rugers.

If you're talking only new the 700 adl and sps are around. And the vandgard/howa is always a great buy.

I think he means 5 copies of the model 146 (large ring).

Ditto's on the Nylon 66, but gees you have to pay a lot for one that has not been beat to snot. When I was a kid, a barn was not a barn with out a Nylon 66 in a corner. I would add and 870 pump shotgun in either 12 or 20, or if you are lucky to keep the 28 ga you had when you were a kid. Or a Model 37 Ithaca shotgun.

Phil - you live in Alaska, I live in South Florida. My question is just how difficult is it to pronounce "Feinwerkbau 300 recoiless air rifle" when your lips are frozen? LOL... Regards, Jerry (Homesteader).

When your mustache is frozen solid to your beard you really can't tell if you are pronouncing it correctly or not.

Phil - big chuckle on my end...I imagine, with 'stash stuck to beard, it sort of sounds like 'Finerekafrec coilness'. Regards, Jerry.

Speaking of the Nylon 66's....

Back when I was a kid I purchased a new'Apache Black' Nylon 66, and I'd hate to think how many rounds of ammunition I put through that rifle...

I grew up out on a ranch and just about everyone I knew started shooting .22's at a very young age (after we out grew our Red Ryer BB guns).... Compared to some of the old .22 rifles we used that chrome and black Nylon 66 was a thing of beauty.

I don't remember ever having a problem with my Nylon 66.

Year or so ago I purchased a Marlin M981TS Stainless .22 and in a momemt of weakness sold my old Apache Black 66..

Been kicking my self ever since for getting rid of my old 66.

Marlin 39 - mine dates from 1948 and is a keeper,
Marlin 336 in .35 Rem,
pre '64 Winchester 94 .30-30,
Tradewinds Husky .30/06,
and the best sub $200 truck gun I've found, a Mark X Mauser sold by Charles Daly in .308. The trigger adjusted down nicely and the Butler Creek stock sure isn't pretty but it shoots fairly well.
