Obviously something small enough caliber to kill a rabbit without totally demolishing its meat
But also large enough to take out a bear in case of attack
And enough oomph to get out past 500 yards if you get into a desperate scenario for food.
Ive looked into it a little and you can definetly get a budget gun from MOST suppliers for around $300
But thats not my question
What is a dependable brand/caliber that you can get used at maybe a pawn shop for around $250
Not trying hard enough
No excuse.

Rifle/Shotgun O/U.
Fuck u. Im looking for advice for value as far as brands go.
Like which older guns are going to retain their competitive value versus the newer technology out right now.
Im going to go to a gun show soon, and i dont want to get scammed on a quick reaction purchase; a pawn shop almost got me to buy a new 22 rimfire longrifle.
It was either a marlin or ruger.
Obvious, try hard troll. No cartridge is going be optimal for small game meat conservation and be a good bear gun and be optimized for 500 yards, there is no new technology in bolt action rifles and there never will be, old high quality bolt action rifles retain value because they are honestly as good if not better in some cases to new manufacture, bolt actions will never go obsolete and especially old actions will never go obsolete. Nice try.
Shotgun.
I like how he thought he was posing a tough question.
Thanks assholes.
This is what im coming up with.
Remington is a reputable brand, and you can probably get one second hand with a wood stock for easily under $300
The remington 783 comes in .223 typically with a scope and would be perfect for most mid game applications.
