I would only suggest going to gun auctions if you are looking for something rare and you know your prices.
If you just want a gun for hunting, stay far away.
It doesn't have to cost a lot to get into the game. Buy a Savage Stevens 200, a good set of Talley or Leupold rings and bases and a Leupold rifleman. If you look for sales you could get that setup for a hair over $500 and you would have a reliable, accurate hunting rig that will last for decades. Of course it won't look pretty, but who cares in the bush?
