[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 471917, member: 30671"] I'm not sure one can make an educated decision with all the information and misinformation out there. If you know a hunter/shooter offer to buy lunch and ammo and make a time to shoot. I don't know where you're from, but if there is a local range go watch. If there's a Range Officer let him know your dilemma. Taken as whole shooters are a pretty windy bunch. If there's a club house listen respectfully. If you have questions ask. If you have no experience don't parrot someone else's opinion. If you get rejected take it gracefully. With a little luck you might find someone to let you "try" their rifle. At that point you can begin the basis of an informed opinion. If you're anywhere near Spokane, WA. I'd take you to the range and let you fire a few through a variety of rifles. If the above doesn't work for you. I've had very good luck recommending the synthetic stocked Rugers with Leupold scopes to the new guys in our group. Other old guys-it's not doing us any good locked in the safe. Invite someone new or at least be open to the opportunity to teach. [/QUOTE]
