Buy recommendations Can you recommend a budget-friendly, high-power firearm? New or used, lever-action or bolt-action

I am looking for a reputable, new or used high-power bolt-action or lever-action firearm. The maximum price I can spend is less than $1,000. Are there any suggestions?

I dont know your intent or need for the rifle but every canadian should own a sks , 12 gauge and 22 as starter firearms

I think bass pro stopped selling them at least where I live. They used to have so many of them but havent in a long while

I picked one up from bass pro (with ATI stock) back in June. Edmonton

Maybe you guys still have them out there in the west but over here I think they are done with them. Sks was very popular for them to sell and they usually had at least a dozen but they havent had stock in a while

CanFirearm has good discounts sometimes on sks

My local gun shop in a small city has like 7 of them, gun shows have them all the time. They're very plentiful in Canada.

Lots of stores carry them.

What do you even want this rifle for? Hunting? Casual use?

That seems like the best place to buy them today. The only other options are ones with ati stocks which ive seen alot of negative comments about for 7. Russian ones for 12 and hush holster ones for 13. But off gp you might be able to get a regular chinese one for 4-600

Tbh GP these days you’re lucky if you get even 700. I haven’t seen one under 700 in months, genuinely insane
