This is what I think you should.

1st.... buy a Remington 700 ADL in 30.06 with the synthetic stock.

2nd....Top it with a 3x9 Busnell Bannerscope.

I'm not sure how much the rifle will cost but itsa good, accurate gun and its lower priced than alot of rifles. I'm guessing you will have around $500 in it, maybe less if you really shop around for a deal.

With the money you have leftget as good a bow that you can find. I would not reccomend a crossbow. My father has one and they are boring. You will enjoy shooting the compound.
