Looking for good all around hunting rifle

[tarkus]

Everybody ought to have at least 1 levergun.

I think I'm at 7, at the moment

Gluttony is a sin.

So is Envy.

Did y'all look here?

I've made a couple of good trades on this site. In fact, my 1911 Kimber was one of those trades.

Good luck and safe hunting, y'all. We don't want none of you falling out of trees or shooting each other...in the bushes or anywhere else.

I did not see it mentioned here, but Academy has remington 700 ADL's in 243, .270, 7 MM Mag, 7MM-08, 25-06, 30-06. Your choice for $349.99. Plus, you could get a nikon pro-staff 3-9x40 for 169.99 or a leupold rifleman 3-9x40 for 199.99. Still need to get the mounts and rings, which should cost you around $50.00 for both. After sales tax, you will prob be just above your budget ($620 app). I would go with either the .243, .270, or 30-06 and prob not the .243 if I was going for anything larger than deer. These are the most prevalent calibers and as such, seem to have the easiest ammo to find.
