Default RE: looking for first rifle

ORIGINAL: Brassknucklthrpy

i'm looking to buy my first rifle .. what are some good ideas ?

i will prob. be doin alot of boar hunting with it ? maybe a 30-06 ? and what make

thanks for the help
When I was faced with this situation, I settled on a .30-06 (a Savage 110, since I could find a left-handed one, which I needed).

A down-loaded .30-06 round (such as Remington's Managed Recoil ammunition, which I simply love for deer hunting) is great and easy on the shoulder.

Heavier loads will knock down about any of God's critters, and when I go hunting for hogs, I want to be prepared in case a big boar gets in my path.

Pretty good versatility, I think. At least it's good enough for me.
