I just got a Remington 511 Scoremaster, Rem Model 41 Targetmaster and a old Marlin Model 80 for $75 total! They are all in great shape and all shoot really well.

Great thread! I'd agree with SKS's and sporterized Mausers too (I have them, but no photos). I also like a British Enfield (.303 Brit.) that I bought for $99 years ago. The thing carries like a log, but it's accurate. Below are my favorite rifles that are (relatively) cheap to buy, and cheap to shoot, with the exception of .410 ammo, I can't believe how expensive that stuff is, and I don't reload shotgun ammo. Anyway...... Top to bottom: Remington 510 single shot bolt action .22 Remington 511 clip fed bolt action .22 Ruger 10/22 (wife and 16 year old sons FAVORITE) .22 Marlin .22 Magnum (forget model name/number, but it's a "take-down" in that the stock unscrews from the action Premier .22 (I paid $20 for that in the 80's at a long since defunct gun shop on 45th street off 5th ave in Manhattan..... seems hard to believe it was there) and lastly, Excel single shot .20 shotgun, that has been joined since taking this picture by 2 .410 guage "brothers", see 2nd pic. -TomT PS. oops I forgot the .22 Magnum AMT 6" pistol was even in the pic. fun to shoot, but doesn't reliably feed all types of .22Mag ammo ![[Linked Image]](http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z48/TomT99/99%20mounts/rimfires.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z48/TomT99/DSCN1292.jpg) I could find room for all of those!

+1 on a super clean Norinco SKS. $93. If that's all I had I would be okay.

I'll mention a prewar Browning A5, which was well used, with a cut down stock, for $150, about 6-7 years ago. I put a tuneup kit in it, and it shoots quite well. I think at some point I will get the choke reamed to open up the patterns. I bought a Ruger 77/22 about 17-18 years ago, and it is superbly accurate. It served admirably in the Texas Coon Wars, this past year

Norinco ATD new for $80- it shoots one ragged hole at 25 yards.
Remington 581L- bought new after being discontinued, plain as dirt but a real shooter
Savage 110ML used/rebarreled in .25-06 for $165 with a Charles Daly scope that I swapped over the counter for a new replacement.
NEF Sidekick for $140 OTD- great shooter with BH 209.
Mosin-Nagant sporterized carbine for $85-great truck gun.
S&W 686 for $240 new.

I was able to score two 'drop dead gorgeous' Dan Wesson revolvers (357 Mag & 44 Mag) ... for a song.
Also a CZ 40-P (Franken-Pistol) and a CZ 40-B (same as Colt Z-40), both pistols 'new' and 'uncataloged', for well under $300.
Recently, a NIB Ruger Single-Six, Stainless, Rosewood Grips, Adj Sights, 17 HMR ... $339.
Now I'm broke - but happy.

Glenfield model 30A an el cheapo 336. Paid $245 for it, threw a 4x buhsnell banner in weaver rings on a weaver base and the darn thing shoots MOA with 170gr Hornady FP factory loads. Love that thing and it really fits 90% of the hunting I do.

A gifted Weatherby Vanguard in .257wby mag. All I did was add a 2 lb Timney & the B&C Leupy. I yearn for a tricked out custom, but the way this thing kills I keep asking.....why? ![[Linked Image]](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/HunterHarry/006.jpg)

$300 Remington 700 ADL in 7mm Express, from a gun show at the Mancos, CO Jr High.
Saw it in a Saturday, had to go back to NM that night to get more money, bought it on Sunday.

I have a Savage 23B in 25-20 that I paid $65.00 for. It had a Weaver "N" side mount and latter acquired a Weaver J2.5 that I paid $10.00 new in the box. The rig is good for head shots on squirrels with decent handloads. It's all about as much fun as you can have with a firearm.

Remington 870 pump I've had since I was 15, killed and killed and killed with that cheap shotgun. It has functioned flawlessly since the day I picked it up, and even shoots slugs very accurately with only a screw in choke. I've got a bunch of rifles but that shotgun left me with no other wants.

Since posting at the beginning of this thread, I reread all the posts this am. Got to thinking about what's in my gun cabinet. With the exception of 2 ruger no. 1s, all my guns are under $350! Also, I love everyone of them.  maddog

CZ Scout 22LR
Gave $300 for it brand new, and put a $200. Leupold Rimfire 4X scope on it.
Picked up a Winchester 67 a few years back in a pawn shop for $100. It's a grooved forearm model not the 67A.
