I want a better deer rifle that I can put a scope on. I use an SKS now. The Ruger American 270 is for sale for $330.

I dont anticipate ever shooting at a deer at over 150 yards and to be truthful not over 100 yards.

My question is this a good rifle? At a good price? I researched deer rifles a few years ago and wanted a remington 700, but money is tight.

I want a good rifle, for inexpensive, that I can put a scope on and shoot deer efficiently with. Is this a good choice?

Also can I get a good scope for it for ~$100. All I need from a scope is good enough.

Thanks
