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?

By high power do you mean like 308 or something big?

This guy is sitting here anxiously hoping to recommend a 458 Lott or something like that  haha

Indeed. Someday one will be mine. I look at the 458 Lott ammo box in the display everytime I go into the shop. I just can’t find a reasonable priced rifle chambered in it. I miss the CZs everytime one goes on GP. For not the deer are safe, rabbits too.

If you’re willing to “settle”
For 458 WM like I did, Winchester still
makes it in the Model 70 which I see restock at Canadian retailers a couple times each year.
