New Hunter gun question

270 or 30-06.

Any major brand bolt action rifle will work. Make sure you save some money to use on a good scope too. I suggest either a .270, .30-06, or a .308 for your first deer rifle.

Spot on here. Can't go wrong with rem 700. Just don't get the 770. Ruger American seems like a good gun for the price as well.

Just bought a ruger american for my son. Shot it today for the first time excellent gun for the price.

i feel obliged to add my $.02 for a fellow Thunder Chicken fan.

a Remmy 700 chambered for 30-06 is the way to go. you'll never need anything else, but once you have a rifle you'll want another...and another...and another...(see the developing pattern?)

PS-don't go cheap on the glass. if you can't see it, you can't shoot it. even a custom built Jarrett rifle is useless at dusk with a crappy scope.

awesome. i knew the outdoor board would bring the good info

thanks.
