Hey /k/, I've been trying to get into hunting more, and I've been looking at .308 rifles, are there any that are new, or somewhat new for around 350 dollars? I've been looking at a Savage Axis, tell me what you guys think.

Watch sales. We're coming into hunting season with goose and waterfowl ready to start, plus a lot of bow seasons will be starting in october so hunting rifles will be getting pushed.
Are you looking for a combo rifle scope or just a rifle?

Preferably a rifle with scope, but I do have an old Nikon scope on my 10/22, so it doesn't really matter that much

Yea watch your local ads and shit like Sportsmans guide. Sales will be starting soon and there isn't any reason at all that this shouldn't fall below 300 bucks.

Savage Axis is pretty much the king of cheap .308's, and you get a good deal for what they can do. For hunting the Axis and a 1-6x budget optic, few boxes of ammo and other little addons will be well under a grand. Alternatively get a better scope, bipod and good ammunition and you get yourself a pretty decent long range gun as well.
Howa 1500 is a great rifle. Very cheap and ive used very effectively to knock down goats.

MVPs are garbage.

This.

Savage, mossman, whatever.
i would suggest a .270 win, but im just in love with that cartridge for hunting, in most cases a .308 will do.
