[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 989415, member: 75895"] If you are fairly new to rifles, I would purchase something where ammo can be readily found. Also, I would purchase something where recoil is manageable and skills can be built from that platform. With those mentioned, I would consider the .308 and if it is a factory purchace then look at a Remington 5R. These have been historically "tack drivers". I have one that will tear a ragged hole with 5 shots at 200 yards. On the other requirement where a rifle to hunt deer and elk or concerned, I would go with the 300 WM with a brake installed. This round has so many options for projectile weight for any type of game, and ammo is readily available. I have taken numerous deer, hogs and one exceptional bull elk last year with this caliber. Shooting is a wonderful journey and not a destination. What satisfies the urge today will surely not be the same tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
