That would depend on what you already have. Get something different than what you have already

i have my grandfathers old sears and roebuck 30.06 bolt action that kicks like a mule and single shot .22. was thinkin about a remy 700 smaller cal maybe 22.250. or maybe a crossbow , that would be different and extend the season hmmmm.

i vote crossbow or 22-250 rem! I like both those ideas.. i love the 22-250 and whats wrong with extending your season with more time in a stand...

See if you can find a T/C Venture on sale for 400-450. Most accurate gun in my cabinet, that has had zero modifications.

What rifles do you have now?

I'd go with a crossbow but I have several rifles and my doc says the MRI's on both of my shoulders looks like a train wreck and I can't shoot a compound bow anymore.  Well I could but it hurts.

AR in 22lr. With good and non specific lower. So you can add any upper later.

I'd go with a 223 bolt gun, any brand. They all shoot good anymore.
