What's a good gun under 100 dollars?

Question

I am low on cash and am an avid hunter looking for quality at a low price. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I would recommend going to Dick's sporting goods to find something for under $100. You are pretty much limited to a single shot shotgun or a 22 rifle. I bought a mossberg 702 plinkster for $79 from Dick's in December. It is a semi-automatic 22 with a 10 shot clip. So far it has been a blast to shoot and it is very accurate. It would be a fun squirrel gun.

Guns Under 100 Dollars

Answer 3

You can get great deals at gun shows...Mossberg 500s & even some older Remington 870s are around $100. If you want a new gun, Stoeger and H&R make great single shot guns. I have a H&R single 20 G and it's a great little gun..it takes 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. I have used it pheasant hunting several times. If you save up a bit, however, H&R also has the Excel Auto 5. I bought mine (it's a 12 G, takes 2 3/4 and 3" and I have put rifled slugs through it with no problem) brand new for $275.

Answer 4

You can get a single shot 12 gauge for about $100 or a Mossberg Maverick 12 gauge pump for about $150-200.

Answer 5

8x57 Mauser. No matter how many Germans the Russians killed in WWII, the Germans killed a ton more Russians due to training and quality firearms.

The Russian crap may cost less, but you are buying a rifle whose creators weren't even smart enough to use a rimless case (Mosin). In the case of a SKS of AK clone, you are looking at hopeless inaccuracy and marginal power for deer. The 8x57 is significantly more powerful than either the 7.62x54r (out of a Mosin) and a huge deal more powerful than a 7.62x39 (out of a SKS or AK. However, a commie boat anchor in good shape is much better than an original German K98 that's had a 30-06 through it's receiver. That is, make sure that you buy a rifle in good operating shape.

Answer 6

A gun store/pawn shop will usually have old Mausers, British SMLEs, and Russian Mosin Nagant rifles and used single shot shotguns on hand. Don't pass by "sporter" versions with non military short stocks. Make sure to check the barrels for wear, pits, bulges, and brightness. Most old military rifles can be cleaned up to look pretty good with a little time and effort.

Answer 7

Get a Mosin Nagant. 91, 91/10, or 91/30. Go for the long barreled ones and then slice the barrel down to 23-24". Gives you a good heavy barrel and superb accuracy. Stick it into an ATI Monte Carlo stock and have fun. Nothing in North America it can't hit and kill.

As to the "expert" above....well, I guess his own words say it all.

"The 8x57 is significantly more powerful than either the 7.62x54r (out of a Mosin) "

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Answer 8

for 100.00 buck you better go used. The Mosin-Nagant is a great deer hunter, so is the SKS but it may be a little more than 100.00. one of the surpluss Mausers are also a great choice in 7 or 8 MM. a chinese surplus in 7mm is good but stay away from the 8mm. If you really want cheap, go for the Italian Carcano, it's one step abouve "Better than nothing" but not by much.

Answer 9

My brother owns a New England Firearms .410 single-shot shotgun and has killed more rabbits with it than any other gun he owns. You can buy them new for ~$80. It also has interchangeable barrels that you can buy so that you can put a 12 gauge barrel in place of the .410 in just a couple of minutes. That is, you can have one gun that fires several calibers by simply switching barrels.

Drawbacks: the 12 gauge barrel has a little bit of kick to it when shooting heavier loads; (I fired a 3" slug out of it once; yeah, just once). And you have only one shot; you have to make it count.

Answer 10

I was going to be a jerk and give you a sarcastic answer like many of the people here but after giving it some thought I have seen Academy sell a single shot 12 ga. for about $80.
