How's it going folks. I was hoping I could gain some help from some of ya'll. My birthday is coming up in a month or so and I'm going to buy a gun. I have a shotgun but no rifle so I decided that I would choose a rifle. I want to hunt white tail, hog and such animal. This will be the only rifle I have for a while so I need it to be versitile. I'm not an awfully big fella and even though I have shot 30-06 in the past I'm not sure that I would enjoy shooting with it and it is important to me that I'm not battling my gun. I was thinking of a .270 or a .308 but just need some direction on making the decision. My budget is about $500.00. I appreciate any help you can direct me to.
