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 .

Check EE on CanadianGunNutz, you'll have to apply to be able to see it though. People leave feedback there for successful sales and I've found it to be reliable. What might prevent someone from selling to you for the price you're looking for though is shipping, and if you pay for shipping a rifle, it'll go over that budget. Might have to look for a decent local sale.
