Since Indiana will only allow pistol caliber rifles for deer the 44 mag would be a very good choice. Good accuracy and power out to 100 yards.
For your price range one gun that I have been very impressed with is the H&R handi rifle.
Friend has one in 44 mag and takes his limit every year.
He has a Redding scope on it and when I fired it 3 inch groups were easy to maintain at 100 yards.
And its in your price range.
