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?

Husqvarna M98 in 9.3x62 from intersurplus. .45-70 lever action. 12 gauge with slugs.

Thinking about the 9.3 x62, be fun to own, gun would be relatively cheap.

Rounds aren't that cheap but they aren't too bad if you reload

Hornady now puts out an offering that was 39.95 a box at a local gun store near me. Pretty good in my opinion

That's a good deal. Normally it's on average $3 a round

That's great, considering .308 is around that for the cheap crap.

You can pick up lots of 308 for under 30 I bought some cheap Pmc for $28/20rnds and not long ago got some s&b 308 for 32 I think it was

Always got the option for the cheap norinco too,  last I bought it,  it was a buck a round.  Probably closer to 1.10 or 1.20 now

Yeah I’ve got 4-500 of those they do the trick can hit 1/4” thick 15” mild steel at 500 yards out of an axis and punches a perfect hole right through it still
