Best Budget Blaster?

[NoNamePlaced]

Hello ODT, my name is Sam, and I've purchased/sold a few items now... Just getting my feet wet in here.

As the title states, I am looking for an extreme budget gun that can be used in a challenge between myself and a few friends I've met along my journey. We decided there isn't really a budget for this but the most "Bang for your Buck" is the overall goal with our girlfriends/fiancé's being the judges. (As in cheapest firearm that you can actually enjoy)

Categories are scored as follows. They will be judging our firearms without knowing who purchased what.
(Highest points wins)

Overall Look - They will determine if they would buy it/use it. 1-10 points.
Function - Its gotta work. Every Jam or malfunction is 1 point off. They have to shoot at least 10 rounds.
Accuracy - Paper Targets at 10/20/50yds and one at 75 yards. 3 shots for the closer ones, one shot for the last one.
Price - They will 'Evaluate' how much they think its worth and for every $25 under they are, you lose a point, every $25 over you gain a point.

Looking for firearm recommendations and potential additional challenges that might make this more fun for us. Currently I have a Savage 64 I got on here for $100. Unless I get better recommendations I'll just stick with it!

Thanks for reading ODT!

For a 22 try the Diamondback Sidekick it will cost 250 to 275. Very accurate and dependable Can fire 22 or 22mag looks like a single action but it’s a double action 9 shot

Buy a single shot 20ga with a 28" barrel and touch are good to go

That Sidekick sounds like a blast. May look into ordering one or going that that gun show this weekend to look for it or something similar. Thanks!

I'd go with a shotgun but the range challenge would kill it I believe. Our farthest target is 100 yards.

I have a Colt Frontier and a S & W 22. And the Sidekick is the one I carry when I’m out in the woods or at the range Try it you will like it

Depends if they know the value beforehand.
The PSA Dagger is a good option.

I think that you are on the right path. The cheapest savage bolt action that you can find. If you wanna game ut a bit, shoot different types of ammo through it to determine what produces the best groups.

For shutzngiggles, I would bedazzle the hell out of the stock.
