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?

If you don't want to mount a scope, a cheap and reliable option is the Norinco M334.

It's a Mauser style bolt action .308 that typically sells for around 500 dollars.

It is drilled for a scope but I've read that the threads are weird so you'd probably have to retap it.

The iron sights are not dialed in when you buy it new.

I had to adjust it all the way to the right.

Having said all this, I still recommend it.

It is accurate and holds the adjusted sights well.

It always fires reliably.

It's cheap to buy.

It's easy to clean.

It uses the very common. 308 winchester.

The only thing is that you have to operate the bolt with authority. You can't be gentle. You must be firm every time. If you do get caught up, just smack it with the palm of your hand.
