Description
If you’re looking for a solid, no-frills hunting rifle that won’t break the bank, this used gun is worth a hard look. It’s a straightforward bolt-action rifle, the kind I’ve seen bring home deer season after season without complaint. At this price point, you’re getting a functional tool, not a showpiece, and that’s exactly what some shooters need.
Key Features
- Proven Action: The bolt runs on a simple, reliable design. It may have some wear, but these actions are known for durability.
- Hunting-Ready Barrel: Features a 22-inch sporter contour barrel, a classic length that balances well in the field. The bore condition will vary, but we inspect for major issues.
- Basic Wood Stock: It’s a utilitarian stock, likely showing dings and handling marks from prior use—character, not catastrophe.
- Functional Iron Sights: Many of these come with open sights still installed, a nice backup if you decide to mount a scope later.

Honest Assessment
Pros: The value is the biggest draw here. You’re getting a capable centerfire rifle for less than many new rimfires. These older rifles were often built with solid steel and decent wood. I’ve run thousands of rounds through similar guns in my shop, and their simplicity is their strength—fewer parts to fail.
Cons: Condition is a gamble. You might find surface rust, a worn bluing finish, or a stock with cracks that need repair. Accuracy is not guaranteed like a new rifle; the barrel could be shot out or the crown damaged. After decades of testing, I’ve seen firsthand that “used” covers a wide spectrum.
Who Should Buy This
This is for the practical hunter or shooter on a tight budget who isn’t afraid of a project. It’s perfect for a truck gun, a first rifle for a young hunter where scratches don’t matter, or as a donor action for a custom build. If you need a rifle that just works and you’re willing to inspect it closely and potentially do some minor maintenance, this fits the bill.
FAQ
What is the exact caliber and model?
With our used gun listings, specific models and calibers rotate frequently based on inventory. The description above covers the typical rifle in this price range. Please check the individual listing title or photos for the exact caliber and any visible model markings at the time of purchase.
Can I return it if I don’t like it?
All used firearms are sold as-is, final sale. We inspect them for major safety and function issues, but cosmetic wear and exact accuracy potential are not grounds for return. We encourage asking specific questions before buying.
Will it come with a scope or mounts?
Typically, no. What you see in the listing photos is what you get. Most rifles at this price are sold with iron sights only. You should budget for a scope, rings, and bases if needed.
