I am looking to expand my collection. Due to my budget, I am looking for a cheap 12ga break action shotgun and a 22LR rifle. Any recommendations on where to get these second hand or used?

Thank You.

Not sure where to get used ones other than your local gun store. But a cheap new .22 is the ruger 10/22, or the Savage A22.

For shotguns you could get a Winchester SXP or a Mossberg Maverick 88.

These are going to be my options when my PAL finally comes in the mail.

Everywhere I see the prices start 599 and up . Those are nice .. but for my fledgling hobby, I cannot go more 200 or so .

I hate to break it to you, but that will be really hard with the price of guns right now. Even used guns rarely go for less than 200. My local gun shops cheapest used .22 is 400 dollars. You can try and get lucky with Gun Post. (A used gun website)
