Where to buy a riffle in San Diego?

As long as you stay away from hiring guides...you should have plenty of money to get set up with a good riffle...those guides charge an exuberent amount of money...and the reallly good ones will have tagged out by 10am on the first day of your hunt. UGGH!!
I like the weatherby vanguards or the Howa 1500,s. Same rifle.. low cost...easily get a good scope ..rings and mounts..a sling and prolly a box of core locs...under 1k....my 1.5 cents.

You get his point. Take a few days off work to go hunting and instead you go shooting..and you are done before noon...to each it's own but id rather work a little to fill my tag.

Just a little humor with Matt.
He knows I am do it your self type of guy.
But it's a small thing. My body is getting wore out. So more road hunting for me.
I am physically fit, but my arthritis (gout)
No longer allows heavy Hiking.
 
Far as a rifle goes. Buy the best you can afford. Do you home work on a cartridge.
I would suggest two rifles,
One for up to large game like elk.
And one for dangerous game.
 
I got out to the range and shot my Ruger, its real accurate and doesn’t kick hard at all. I don’t know if its one you are considering, but I definitely recommend.
 
I am happy to report, I just placed my order for the Tikka T3X Lite Black Synthetic and Stainless steel left-handed on 6.5 Cr. Now I need to research the Scopes and figure out where to get the Ammo and such. I would imagine it might be 2 or 3 weeks before I can get the dam thing in my hands.

I had to buy the rifle online which is rarely my first choice but I did not want to wait any longer. I think the price was pretty good too, that is before you add the transfer fee and State registration fee.

Most shops are super busy and I could not get a response even by e-mail. As of matter of fact, I called several shops just to check on transfer fees and I could not get anyone on the phone. The only shop that took the call charged $100 and they are a few minutes from me so I went with them. It seems to be the worst time to buy any ammo/firearm related unless you can order online, even then.

I better start going to the sporting goods stores and buy my shells for the upland season.

Cheers.

OK...Another opine from a shotgun guy, that's killed a few with a rifle...... ;)

Ruger American...MSRP...$399.99

Vortex Diamondback scope, 4x12...On sale, $179.99

Weaver Rings & mounts...About $40.00 (There are much better, but these work)

Limbsaver Kodiak rifle Sling...$23.99

270 Federal Trophy copper ammo...About $40.00

Some targets...$16.00

Total around....$700.00....These combos will kill anything you want in the west...(The caliber can be substituted for 6.5 Creedmore or 30.06 with little change in cost.

ps...Forgot you're a lefty...May be a cost difference & limitations for that

That pretty much describes my rifle except I have a Vortex Crossfire 3-9 x 50 scope. Oh, and hand-loaded ammo courtesy of @White Smoke. I did get a Magpul stock for it from a friend who works there. I'm not sure you can find a better rifle at that price-point.
