Looking to purchase a new rifle in either 30-06 or 308 for deer hunting, debating on the 770 or 715 as I want to stay under $500

    The only advice i can give is go with what feels best to you. You look at the rem 770, you think wow a remington for around 350-400 what a deal. I went through this myself, however after checking one out, i passed, and i beleive most people here will tell you to pass. There are many options out there in your $500 range so just check around and pick the rifle that you enjoy most.

    Savage hands down! [;)] Has been and still is the best bang for the buck IMO.

    Remington seems to struggle with making a budget oriented rifle. They had a ton of problems with their model 710 and well their 770 is a little better, it still has many flaws.

    Hi TCard5,

    Welcome to the forums here on Gunbroker.

    I will further the advice of those before me. The Savage is the way to go with the Accu-trigger. If you get a package gun that has a scope, you can count on the scope as being worthless, and should count on replacing it with something Like a Burris Fullfield II in the 3-9x40 power range. This is to get the best performance from your rifle, and give you a dependable scope. As for the rifle itself, the Stevens 200 is a Savage without the Accu-trigger. Hope this helps.

    Best
