Rifle question

[DJD]

Ok my daughter (and me) want a good all around rifle that is capable of bringing down a deer and taking care of buisness 100yards away..if needed. My question is in your alls opinion what would be a good easy to maintain,easy to learn rifle that would fit my needs.30-06,308,I love the old 45's I think like the rifleman carries. Plus one that I woundn't have a problem finding ammo for. I saw a 30-06 with a scope at the pawn shop a couple weeks back for around 350$ is this a good price? any thoughts on the subject would be great. Thanks Chuck

I sukk at deer hunting but have hunted with folks who are good at it. Since we were hunting small plots I chose to use my 30-30 since the shots would be short at 100 yards or less. I have a 30-06 for and if I ever get to hunt an area that may let me hunt a bigger plot of land.
My novice opinion is you have to be careful of buying a gun at a pawn shop unless there is some sort of return program. What if you purchased it and get out to shoot it and something is off? My 30-06 is used as well but I got it from a buddy who needed cash and I trusted him....I know where he lives!!!! Good luck and if I lived close to Mark I would let him look it over first!!!
