We were always raised on Remington and Browning Rifles growing up,Dad mostly bought Remingtons and I must say I was always partial to the Brownings because they are well made,beautiful and accurate guns.I bought my first new Rifle a few years ago and went with a Browning Hunter in a A-bolt,it is wood stock gun that is simple yet a beautiful made gun,the bolt-action is smooth and tight,easy to work and it is a very accurate gun.

Whatever Gun You choose check into how well they are made,make sure the bolt is smooth yet tight,if your going to be pretty rough on it or have it out in some pretty bad weather I would reccomend a Rifle with a composite stock,another nice gun is a Savage with the Accu-Trigger and I believe you can get the Accu-Stock if the gun has a composite stock?
