[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 382389, member: 505"] You can find some really good deals looking for used starter rifles. Cabelas always has a nice selection of nice used guns and will ship anywhere to your FFL dealer for $25. You can find a really nice shooting used or new rifle for under $700. Any of the common calibers everybody mentioned would do well and I could name many more. For the money a new Tikka T-3 light can be had for around $500 in 300 wsm and it will be very accurate right out of the box and be reliable in the hunting situations you described. It is easy and cheap to load for with little recoil and a Nikon monarch scope in the $375-$400 range will be plenty to get you going just fine. I have several new in the box in 2.5-10 and 4-16 mil dots I can sell you under $350. My personal tikka 300 wsm has a 2.5-10 mil dot on it and it would make the shots you described for under $900 new in the box. I can also name about a hundred more. [/QUOTE]
