[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1105901, member: 48559"] For a first rifle, any that have been mentioned so far will do nicely. If you want to anticipate upgrades/rebuilds, and if you are inclined to DIY, then Savage is an excellent choice. They are the LEGOs of the rifle world. For the first purchase, go with what you can find the best price on locally. 308, 243, 6.5 Creed, 260rem- doesn't matter too much, as any will do what you are asking to 500 or so yards/meters. The 308 will last the longest, the others will have less recoil. Put a brake on the rifle and that won't matter either. When you decide to upgrade, triggers are easy on the wallet, better stocks are easy to fit and bed, and barrels can be changed with about 150 dollars worth of tools that will never wear out (barrel nut wrench, barrel vise, headspace gauges). If you decide to sell, it won't take long for someone on here to snap it up. You can build your own custom for under 1500, and spend as much as you can stand on glass. [/QUOTE]
