Not knowing you, I wouldn't recommend something that would be your sole medium game rifle.

For me I can think of a hundred reasons not to get it and not one reason to put myself i debt. If you have money to pay off your card you have money to save for a rifle. If I NEEDED a medium game rifle I'd buy something far more practical and a lot less money, then start saving for a fun gun. I have a gun fund and I've passed on a lot of really good deals because there wasn't enough money in the fund but I don't have any debt hanging over my head.
 
I'll chime in on this one. I am the worlds worst at spending money I don't have. I am assuming this is a model 336 if so if it has the cross bolt safety I would not want it. I would rather have it in 35 Remington. If you reload you could make up some 180 grain rifle only rounds in 357 that would work well. $1,100 is pretty steep IMO It would have to be like 100% new in the box condition for me to consider it. Then I wouldn't want to take it hunting!

I solved the medium game gun thing with a $300 300 Blackout upper. Depending on bullet choice it will do everything a 30/30 will do. I reload so I have plenty of options and it is cheap to load/shoot.

There is my $0.02 worth. I won't waste your or my time giving "practical" advise on the responsible thing to do.

I just had a stripped down pontoon dropped off in my yard yesterday. I intend to build a small cabin on it for camping on the lake. It will include a kitchen.potty.running water, heat/AC, TV, solar, AC power, new 4 stroke outboard, ETC. All of this will cost well over $10,000. Myself like you have no money. I assure you I will not fail to complete my mission. You only live once and it is your choice on how to play the game. Good luck to you.
 
Like AWS,If I don't have the money in my gun funds, I don't buy it. Putting a gun on a CC, to me isn't a good idea. Time I pay it off and the accrued interest I figure I paid more than the rifle is worth. I've lost a few rifles that I wanted but didn't have the money in my rat hole. And after last week-ends swap meet my rat hole is pretty shallow. But I got a sweet Cooper!
 
Most credit cards have a 0% APR for 12-18 months…the last one I got had 15 months and a $200 bonus for spending $500…I bought an HK SP5 that was on some crazy sale…credit card has been paid of for 6 months and SP5 is worth more than I paid for it.
I also got 1% back on the purchase which I applied to the statement on top of the free $200. Credit cards aren’t evil, you just have to be smart in using them…when my APR period is up I will make sure that card is completely paid and never use it again, and get another 0% card.

Had to read the comments to see what CC meant, lol. Nothing gets bought on a “CC” especially not my “toys”.
If I want something I get an envelope and write what I want on it. Say it’s a new gun, suppressor, or fly rod/reel combo, I just add extra money to the envelope or a little divided up amongst the envelopes. I write the cost of said item and how much I put in.
Once the total is reached, I go deposit it in the bank and place my order. My day job pays for family life, my trapping, thermal hunting, plantation help monies get spent on my “toys”.
Doing it this way ensures it IS something I want. When you work and save for it, you really have time to think about it and don’t make a spur of the moment purchase.
