Message: [QUOTE="arizonaguide, post: 49333"] Of the calibers you mentioned we are still able to get 5.56 at our shop, but it's not typically a $500 rifle. 30-06 is also still available. Same for 30-30. Each of those fit's the bill for ballistic performance, but none (typically) in a rifle that is less than $500. I'm in the search for a 50-300yd "carbine" solution also. I intended to buy a "lower receiver" and build from there...but the recent investment in a couple 1911's (and emphasis on Pistol Training!) has slowed that process...and the thought of a (cheaper) lever action keeps entering my mind as a short term solution. Plus they're damn fun. :cool: Another solution in close to that price range is the various Russian options. But, I try to buy American...as much as that's possible. [/QUOTE]
