We'd need to know the laws of your state. Is there any rifles, ignitionor projectiles that are illegal? Are scopes legal? How much money do you want to spend? What kind of hunting environment are you in... Long open fields or short wooded lot hunting? Are you hunting deer, elk, moose?

What kind of rifle appeals to you? Wood stocks, plastic, fiber optic sights, thumbhole stocks, composite stocks? Are you right handed or left handed? What kind of powder do you want to shoot? Have you heard of BlackHorn 209? Are you planning on pellets or loose powder?

There, have I confused you enough?

If anything goes, and you have some money... get a T/C Triumph.
