A sporterized Enfield can be had quite easily for under $200 drilled and tapped for a scope ..... That would be a 303 though, still a great round for NB.
There are lots of on line sources for new and used firearms.

When it comes to caliber or rifle make and model, everyone has an opinion. Nothing wrong with your choice in either. Will drop any deer in N.B. with a well placed shot.
What Sako said.... I bought a new Remington 30-06 last fall, but that was my choice/ preference.. The .308 is a good caliber for NB and also is lighter recoiling gun.. I know guys that hate to shoot the 30-06 due to the recoil but like to shoot the .308... but again what Sako said, everyone has an opinion, nothing wrong with a .308
Hoyt Trykon XL @ 70lbs.. 2219 @ 29 in.. Muzzy 4 Blade 125gr = game, death... match!!

my sentiments exactly.The perfect deer calibre imho.I have a .270,.30-06,.300 savage and .30-30 and the .270 is my fav.Lighter recoil than the .06 and flatter shooting.There's nothing wrong with choosing .308 either but stay away from the axis.Consider a weatherby vanguard,marlin xs7,savage 11 as a few examples.All priced decent and very capable deer rifles.270 win

There are many web sites to go to for reviews take the time to surf the web and get a broad look at different brands.
FWIW check the date on the reviews because rifles change but names don't (example The first Mossberg ATR that came out were really poor quality but the last few years they have greatly improved and are a really good shooting gun)

I agree 100%, they are cheap, tough and accurate, if you get a good one.I have one and it has became my #1 gun for big game.Its not pretty and doesn't have a scope, but it has never failed even at some good distances.When it hits, the hunt is over, and the prey generally don't move much farther then a step as well.Just my opinion but its a good starter without getting into a lot of money.I think you have chosen a great caliber. ....... And if you are looking for deals (assuming you can find inventory) now is a better time than a couple weeks before hunting season to look.
