Default RE: New to hunting-Rifle question

I wouldn't trade my Savage .270 for a brand new anything. Save ya' bucks and buy a Savage in .270, .30-06 or a 7mm-08. All are good all around rounds. It'll cover just about anything up to as far as you need to shoot. I'll put my Savage up against anything out of the box for accuracy out there. You can't beat them period. I bought mine in SS for under $400. A blued one was about $350.
The Rem. and Win. are good don't get me wrong but my Savage will shoot just as good if not better.
The Mosin/Nagant 7.62x54R, British .303 and German 8mm are good but they'll kick the s--t out of ya'. Be especially careful buying them at gun show though. Alot have seen there better days and the rifling is shot, barrels rusted and worn out firing pins. Ya' get whatcha' pay for when ya' buy a rifle for $50. Go with the Savage, you won't be disappointed I promise you.
