Hello,
Ive recently grown an interest in purchasing a rifle. I have allways had a fascination with lever action rifles so I was planning on getting a Winchester or Savage. However, I am unsure as to where I to buy one for the best deal. I believe that I might want to start with a .22 just to have some fun with shooting since I am not a hunter or anything. I say some 30/30 for about $300-500 at a shop in Eugene. Is there a way to buy a nice rifle for at most $400-500?
Also, I live close to Skyline road up in the hills. I have driven past Cornellius pass Rd. to the other side of Skyline and noticed that on some of the back roads and fire trails there where shot gun shells and other various used rounds. Is it okay to shoot rifles in that area? If so does it require any sort of permit? If not is there an open area similar to that, that does not require the use of a range and allows you to just park your car and find a place to shoot at targets you set up?
