[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2490598, member: 103317"] Welcome to the wonderful world of Rifle shooting. There is a lot of good advice in these forums and I do believe in what [B]orkan[/B] said. Contact him and discuss your options. Find someone that has some rifles and try them out see what you like and what you can take. Just remember the most important part is to have fun. Getting your first hunting rifle that will put you into any kind of competition at 1000 yards might be a stretch unless you want to spend some serious loot. I would stick with something in the milder recoil range, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 x 284, .280, 30-06 to start with. More than anything else get something that there is available ammo for on the shelf. Right now in Montana any decent factory ammo is almost non-existent. Get used to recoil and multiple rounds first. Firearms in general are pretty easy to sell and you can always trade up. Starting with a big banger right off the bat might turn you off on the sport altogether or make you develop a flinch before you ever determine if you even like shooting rifles. Good luck with your endeavor and keep us posted on how it goes. [/QUOTE]
