I agree with the caliber they are saying but it depends on your size you say your a junior does that mean your young? young and small? cause if you are small in stature i thinkyou should go with a .243 first then you can always work up to something with a little more punch. but if you know how to handle a "bigger" caliber then i would go with any of these .308, 30-06, .270, 7mm, or a .338. but it really depends if your going to be hunting anyother game with it. but hell i like just about eery caliber so im probably a bad person to act.
