Sorry if this question is in the wrong forum or is just too basic to even ask...

I'm new to collecting vintage rifles and am looking for something very inexpensive to get my feet wet... a Mosin, Enfield, Mauser, SKS something like that, and had heard from some Appleseed people that some very usable rifles like Enfield No. 4s or SKSs can often be found very inexpensively (around $200?) if I knew where to look. I'm not sure if these prices are pretty out of date or not...

Can anyone tell me if expecting to find one of the above in the $200 price range (in reasonably safe condition) is unreasonable or a possibility? And if so, whether I might be able to find rifles like these in local shops (I'm in USAicon/Florida) or if I'm better off looking online?

Thanks and sorry again for the incredibly beginner-level question!
