Suggestions for first long gun

Another option I like for under $300 would be;
1.. A Marlin model 60
2. A Mosin Nagant 91/30
And would leave enough $ left over for ammo for both

here's a link for CT might be helpful. I always check them out for reloading stuff.

dont forget about those survival rigs to like the combo rosi's and others that make 410-.22 or larger 12g-30-06

.22lr should be your choice. I'd go with a lever action just because in my opinion bolts get boring to shoot after a while. Have you considered getting a cheap shotgun for target shooting?

A Marlin model 60

That's a great idea. My dad picked up a used one the other day for a hundred bucks. It came with a $200 scope to boot. You can't beat that.

What Caliber is your handgun? Id get a carbine in the same round. That way its easier to stock up.
