[QUOTE="Arkansasdad, post: 1906675, member: 76766"] Advice I have to give you is find a good 30-06 Springfield and put on a good scope. Definition of good is up to the one doing the choosing but I figure you could be in the ball park of $2500 for a lifetime setup. Cartridges are [URL='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ubiquitous']ubiquitous [/URL]and are very accurate in most rifles. Recoil is half that of most mags and is very easy to shoot. 30-06's have killed everything in earth and still are. With 2000 ft./lbs. at 200 yards this will knock anything down on the Americas and out to 600 it is a good deer gun. I know a lot of natives in Alaska and most shoot the Springfield because it never fails.
