[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 562960, member: 9736"] I would start off with the 300 win mag or WSM. Reasonable recoil, good accuracy and enough energy at long range to do some damage. I started with a 300 win mag and learned a lot shooting several hundred rounds a year. I still use it for elk hunting. I have loaned it to family members and they have killed as many animals as I have with it. My dad shot an antelope with it a couple years ago at a little over 400 yards. He was amazed how easy it was. Get some good equipment that is accurate. Accuracy is the ticket, if it's not accurate you won't learn much. A good scope that tracks well doesn't need to cost a fortune, check out a Vortex or Sightron. I personally like Savage rifles for the out of the box accuracy but there are others that shoot good too. Good shooting. [/QUOTE]
