[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1273878, member: 67011"] Everybody has an opinion on brand of rifles. It's about like asking who makes the best truck. Personally, I think you can't go wrong with a savage. I have a couple, and they are really accurate rifles. If you go that route, make sure you get one with the Accustock and the Accutrigger. But make sure what ever you buy feels good when you shoulder it, and do your research on the make and model. There are pros and cons to heavy barrels. They don't necessarily mean accuracy. If your going to spend a lot of time at the range, and do a lot of shooting, they do help keep things tight. But if your wanting a rifle to carry a lot and do some offhand shooting, they can actually be a hinderance. Buying a common caliber, like the 243, is a good idea. It makes it a lot easier to find ammo. Even if you reload, common calibers still make things easier. The 243 will kill deer a lot further away than 350 yds. It's a very common deer round for a reason. Just make sure you don't go cheap on the scope. A nice scope is worth every penny. [/QUOTE]
