I own a 14 acre property that has plenty of wild turkeys and deer and I've always wanted to get into hunting. I'm not sure if I should be looking into getting a shotgun or a rifle. I'd prefer a rifle because imo it's better to get a long range gun to shoot close range than a close range gun to shoot long range. Is the Mossberg 702 plinkster any good? Some stores have it around here for only $150 and I'm really not trying to spend more then $250 on a rifle. I'd like the rifle to have enough stopping to kill a deer in one good shot and I'd like it so I wouldn't have to reload after every shot (I know this is pretty unsportsmanship like but I'm going to be using this rifle for target practicing too). So maybe a semi automatic (the mossberg is like that).

EDIT: Also something that isn't TOO loud.
