What rifle and scope set-up would you select if you were going to buy a rifle on Black Friday? Who has the best Black Friday Deals on Rifles? Using it for Hunting Elk and Deer.

Tikka might be too much to make your cut off, but worth a little stretch. If not savage model 1xx or howa 1500/weatherby vanguard s2 are better than cheap rem/ruger/moss options in my opinion.

A savage 110 or 111 in 30-06 and put the rest of the budget in the best scope you could. I saw an add for Dunham's and cabelas and they had some good deals. You can normally find used savage 110 in 30-06 on gunbroker for less than $250, and with a good scope you be good for any deer or elk.

I would get a used Remington gamemaster 760 in 30-06 and put a decent VX-2 scope on it.

If you Sportsman's Warehouse in your area, they have the Savage 11/111 Trophy Hunter XP on sale for Black Friday. That would meet your budget, and still give you money if you wanted to upgrade the scope on it.

I saw cabelas bass pro had browning ab3 for under 400? Leaves 300 for scope I really enjoy my ab3 chambered in .300 i have a cheap crossfire 2 on it. My total investment was under 600$. It shoots real good my buddy killed his cow with it in his one shot 377 yards.

I'd rather spend the $700 on a higher end used rifle than a new cheaper rifle. Just my $.02

There are lots of good deals to be had. I second the Savage 110 solution and will also nominate the Browning AB3. It’s a decent rifle for the money and even better with the Black Fridag rebates and sales.

Cabela’s is selling one w a Leupold 3-9x40 for $599-$100 mail in rebate. That’s $500 for a rifle and scope that retail above your budget. That leaves you plenty of money for ammo or accessories.

Mine shoots right at an MOA. And with a little work on the trigger it’s a real nice rig.
