Alright, i am overwhelmed!!! haha.
So i found this "http://www.chuckhawks.com/choosing_hunting_rifle.htm"
the first bit made a lot of sence to me, before you buy the gun, you have to decided what type of amunition you want to shoot. but their are so many different types and sizes and stuff, my un-educated self cant comprehend all the numbers and stuff, i really need to go to a store and ask questions, or find an awesome book that will teach me about calibers and other important things.
So as i understand this is what i will eventually do. first, i will select what type of ammunition i would like to use for my application, apparently a 30-06 (i think) is a good round for hunting deer but nothing larger. so, once i have chosen what i will shoot i can then find a gun that fires this type of ammunition and then make my decision for a rifle.
So i guess the first thing i need to learn about is the ammunition it self.
Im a pretty big guy, almost 6 foot 210 Lbs! i think i can handle some kick.
