[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2619032, member: 17889"] Just an old geezer's food for thought. For younger hunter first rig, I would suggest spending the biggest part of budget on scope.....for the robustness, repeatability, consistency in adjustment and glass performance....low light, resolution, clarity,..... Spend next big chunk of budget on ammo/practice and classes for shooting techniques....position building, trigger technique, recoil management, wind reading, impact calling,.... If a young shooter learns the skills he will shoot very very well with an entry level rifle. But, he will shoot poorly with a high end rifle if he doesn't master the skills. Nothing as satisfying s a young whipper snapper with an entry level rifle out shooting snobs with their expensive rifles. Years down the road, that higher value scope will transfer to an upgraded rifle, but not vice versa as much. Even Savage, Begara, Ruger rifles shoot very well out of the box and look/perform really well with upend optics. And, those entry rifles will all be readily available in the 7mmRM, or 300WM, if that's your preference.....either one not a bad first call, every American should have one of each, get 'em into the stable early. I'd lean toward the 7mmRM for first rifle, lower recoil, flat trajectory, great terminal performance. Buy once; cry once; happy ever after on optics. [/QUOTE]
