I bought a single shot H&R Handi Rifle in .243 for myself and my daughter (both first timers this year). It's a youth model so a bit short for me, but a darn accurate little rifle at the shooting range! Next year I'm hoping to be able to get a rifle for myself. I've done lots of looking and comparing and, so far, I'm thinking Savage 110 in .270. For me it seems to provide a good combination of value, fit, and function.
