Your going to get a bunch of different answers on this one, it's like asking what make and model of a Truck to buy. We all have our personal preferences, what one likes might not be what the other does.
If I were you I'd check out some different brands if you can and see how they shoulder to you and how they feel in your hand. Do you like a lighter MLer or a Heavier one. a Synthetic Stock or Wood, Thumbhole or Regular, a Stainless Steel Barrel or Regular Blued? A Bolt Action or Break Open? What type of Ammo are you allowed to shoot during Hunting Season, Sabots, Conicals ect? Can you use a Scope while Hunting?
Then there's so many different Powders to use along with Sabots and Bullet selections, and agin you'll get many different answers.
I personally shoot a CVA ACCURA, all the advice I can give you is to answer what you need to hunt with first then chose among what you like amongst your choices of what you looked at.
Top choices
TC
Knight
CVA
Good Luck and Welcome to the Forum, you'll find all the answers you need and more on here. MLing is a Great Sport and lots of Fun, you made a wise decesion
