I don't have much experience, but I would say # 1 reason, the price, $$$$. Guess it depends how you intend to use it. Many claim there are much less $$$ rifles that adequately meet their needs, such as the Savage. They are all capable of taking deer.

We had a show last weekend, I decided not to go based on previous experiences and from what I have heard on here about recent shows, my father went and was disappointed... Guess it depends on whether you are looking for 'good deals' or something specific... If you are looking for something...

And to think as a child I was aware of guns in the house, was taught the dangers and told not to play with them. Scary to think I actually went hunting before high school, and there were rifles/shotguns and ammo sitting visibly around the house, or worse, a friends house, and no one got hurt...

I have been thinking about purchasing one of those budget SAMS Winchester safes, seems like decent safe for money, and a few questions came to mind? How many firearms before justification of safe purchase? (1,2,3, 12) Safe vs. Safety vs. Home Security? (Theft vs. Kids vs. Defense)...
