I have a chance to get a Remington 770 chambered in .243 for $150. It looks brand new. It does not come with a scope. I am in my late 30's and I am taking up hunting for the first time this season.
I like how light it is and the action works smooth enough for me. The only other rifle I can find in this price range is a Mosin Nagant, and frankly it's heavier, older, and would take more cash to get it mounted and scoped for hunting.
I've read some disparaging reviews about this model of rifle. Does anyone have experience with this rifle hunting in the field? In my logic a newish gun. Has to be better than a surplus rifle.
Also what would be the lowest priced scope and ammunition I could get by with. I'd like to keep the total cost at $200 or just above if possible.
