[QUOTE="midwesthunter, post: 468078, member: 10792"] I'll give my 2cents. Buy what you can afford. Are you going to be paper punching or hunting or both? Another thing to consider, no matter how much money you put into your rig, YOU might not be capable of shooting the distance you want. I would expect to spend $1000-1500 for a good set up. Savage makes many great rifles and would be a good start. Caliber wise hard to pass up the 308 even though there are other better choices, but you will get long barrel life ammo is available, cheap/easy to reload. Scope is where you don't want to cheap out on. I find my self doing that in the past and get very disapointed. But you could start out with a fixed 10X bushnell 3200 ebay had them for as cheap as $160 at times. Get a rifle, have it bedded, get a good scope, get some factory ammo and see what it can do, try and talk to people at your range, you might be able to get some local help with reloading. Good luck its addictive. [/QUOTE]
