I'm thinking about a new or used gun for Christmas. I want something that I don't have already, is versatile, reliable, and awe worthy. I would like to keep it around $1000. Suggestions?

You looking to use it for home defense?
There are a lot of variables into suggesting which type of rifle, handgun, shotgun to get.

Deer mostly. But it's mostly just to have. Maybe black bear or elk. I already have several rifles. Just wanting something different

GySgt Michael Salyers - A .308 will kill all of those animals and will do it close or at distance and will shoot a 7.62 as both have the same brass diameter.

A .308 will probably be the next gun I buy for the wife, she wants to go hunting for the shiras moose.

I've been looking at the Ruger American Rifle, myself. Cheap, various calibers, and has good reviews from magazines and friends of mine.

Need more info... What does it need to do, What are your expectations? What do you have now?
Or just get a SAV 110BA 338LAPUA , unless you have one, you have nothing like it :)

That would be fun. Long range hunting AND get to to hear "damn" every time someone sees it!

I bought an Axis in 30-06 and don't care for it much. It is accurate enough but the bolt action is less than stellar and the Magazine is a piece of crap. Savage makes great rifles but the Axis model is not one of them.
