Crazymonkey Report post Posted April 18, 2022 With the caliber winner the 7-08 let's start looking at rifles.Here are some basics I'd like to keep the cost in the $600 to $800 range.per gun I'd like them to have a break or threaded for one .Saves about $280. Per gun After that I'm open to just about any gun or brand .I'd like to stay away from the cheaper axis line . I did look at the ruger american in the go wild edition and for the money it fills a lot of the criteria for a gun at just a hair above $600 each. So let's see what you guys come up with.

thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted April 19, 2022 Just a thought. Watch for rebates offered by manufactures through the summer. A couple of years ago I wanted a Browning xbolt and found a $100 mail in rebate. I found them at Reeds for $459 on sale and free shipping. Even after the FFL I was under $400 for the gun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So who on here has an FFL that can order the rifle and wave/donate the transfer fee? If you can do that just message CM. This way you're not hanging it out there.

This way you're not hanging it out there. That's a very good question.As I ran the giveaway I paid for the transfer in payson for one winner and the boys at Chandler tactical waived the other.IF I can pick up the rifles on sale between now and let's say the end of the year ill buy them.Given the 6 to 8 hundred per gun budget I figure gun, scopes and rings at around 1000 or so per gun.looking at leupold freedom 3x9 scopes .Simple and easy for kids.I'd like to do 3 packages depending on what I can afford.Hopefully by next week I can set up a separate bank account for just the giveaway funds so I can do e- banking donations. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
