I am looking into buying a deer hunting rifle. I have about $250 to spend, is there any decent rifle i can get for that amount of money? If there is please tell me. Thanks!!
Decent is a taste that differs from person to person. For low budget hunting for deer I would say by a Mosin Nagant, A surplus rifle cost anywhere from $90-$$140 dollars these days. I got mine, for $100, nice little "it’s been cut down" truck rifle and brush gun, however the 7.62x54R round it shoots is around 20 for $20 for lead nose hunting rounds, last time I went to Big 5. It’s basically as Russian 30-06, basically I said. I find that a decent gun for deer hunting, but everyone has their own taste.
Also another budget friendly rifle is the H&R rifles "Handi-Rifles" Here’s a link for 7mm-08 http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/default.aspx?item=sb2-708, the 243 Win is sold out there. They’re break action, single shot guns. They break down and are fine guns. I own several of them, .22, .223, 243 Win, 270, 7mm-08 and they all work wonderfully.

Skill is more important in hunting than your firearm. Many deer have fallen and been killed even by the Not Legal for deer.22LR round. Shot placement is more important than caliber.
You can find plenty of used rifles that fit your budget at Gunbroker.com, not advertising for them, just simply giving you a site.
Mack 9 is right too, for around, if not, $130 dollars they will take your receiver and fit another barrel for it.
