hey my name is john and i just got into deer hunting threw my girlfriends family. i wish i could have hunted earlier in my life, but my family hates guns and the killing of animals, but i do not feel how they feel and see nothing wrong with the sport. i have been browsing the market and reading about some rifles. i am trying to find a good rifle but not for a bad price. my budget would be around $500. thanks for any help and/or advice would be appreciated thanks again
