Is this a good option if I'm buying my first rifle or should I look at getting a rem. 700 or something bolt action? I am not that experienced so I'm not sure how well I would do with something that shoots as far as a bolt. I'm sure the 30/30 should suffice in areas where I'll be hunting. Distance will most likely be around 100 yrds and less. I also have an 870 w/ rifled barrel that I'll be using in places I can't use a rifle. Is a 336w/ a good scope something that you guys would reccommend for someone just starting out when compared to a bolt? Just curious. I will most likely make up mymind before season and pickone up. I just don't see myself shootingsomething arouned 200 yards yet with my lack of experience and shooting. Thanks for the help in advance.
