[maroonandwhite]

Looking for a medium to small caliber hunting rifle. Stock could be synthetic or wood with wood preferred. 

I'm in the Memphis area but could drive an hour or so for the right deal.

Bump. Opening up to other calibers.

There was a 7mm-08 youth gun listed on here in East Tennessee about a week or two back. 

You would probably do best to look at a Savage 334, Traditions Compass, Ruger American. 

I would recommend 243, 7mm-08 or even 308. The 7mm-08 and 308 would be very versatile and not tough on young / small statured hunters.  The days of $150 Marlin 336s has unfortunately passed or I would point you in that direction. We have one that has killed every child in the family's first deer for two generations.

Thanks. Being in the West side of the state isn't great for my classified options! I'll probably go pick up a Savage Axis or Ruger American if I don't get a bite soon. .243 is my preference. 

I've already got the Marlin 336 in the safe for him to use later on but it would probably put him on his tail now. He's really just beginning to hunt with me and we are shooting my way to heavy suppressed 6.5 Creedmoor.

I have a Remington 700 30.06 I will let go of for a fairly low price works great groups are tight I just have 2 one ADL and one BDL I prefer the latter

I’ve got a savage axis 6.5 creed and am in the Memphis area too. Just upgraded to a new deer rifle so this one is sitting in the safe with no scope rn.

I’ve got a weatherby mark V accumark in 6.5 creedmore. I’m in Franklin, but I’d be willing to meet half way. Paid $2299, asking $1350.

Any interest in a Mossberg MVP in .223 ?

[JimFromTN]

I have a rem 700 adl in 30-06, blued with synthetic stock that I would sell for $450

I let my brother borrow my 30/30 lever action.  His kids are enjoying that gun.  They have already taken 2 deer with it.   They seem to be expensive these days but its still a good option along with bolt guns.   I am not looking to sell it, I am just handing out ideas
