I am Looking for a cheap deer/elk rifle.


7mm,.30-06,.308,30-30,300wm

30-06 hands down...

ammo is affordable, widely available even in small towns, easy to shoot and terminal ballistics are well proven for larger game like elk and rifles are probably the most available new or used... with scope.
 
Yeah, it wasn't a question about what caliber to buy, it was one about looking for a cheap rifle to buy. Let's not start up the caliber wars eh?
 
no caliber war here, the OP asked for considerations and opinions on 4 different calibers that are all suitable for what hes asking.
 
around 200ish still looking.
"I've got two really nice hunting rifles I'm thinking of selling"
Probably dont fit into my budget heh.

Check this out, get a rifle with your choice of caliber and scope power.

The Compass is hard to beat for accuracy it's not a rifle that you would show off for its beauty though.
I love my Compass in 5.56, sub MOA at 100yds, but if I was going after Deer and Elk I'd go 308 or 30-06
I took my 6X6 bull with a 270 at around 150yds with one shot. with the load below.
My cartridge of choice is the 270! Flatter shooting than the o6 without the recoil, and lethal with a good Nozler partition bullet
Some good deals on this site (above). check it out!

You can load for deer or with the right bullet go after prairie dog or other varmint.
Great caliber the 270!
