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?

Just a heads up, my shotgun is much less recoil than my 308. Especially with birdshot and a long barrel. Like it's sks levels.  Haven't ever shot slugs,  but birdshot will be definitely OK for you if you get an sks.

And if you get a semi auto shotgun, I hear they have even leas recoil as the gas system soaks some up!

Definitely you should try one though!! It's a whole new sport, shooting clays. Totally different than all the target shooting I did before!

Well now youve prettt much made my wallet cry. I had a buddy buy a 12ga shotgun and shot slugs and buddy sold his gun and didnt buy any others till date. Guess birdshot is something id try before kicking ahotguns of my list

Find a buddy who isn’t a little girl who sells a shotgun because he shot a slug and it gave him a little bonk. 

OP definitely shouldn’t listen to you and your weird ramblings.
