Thanks gentlemen the wealth of knowledge and advice I've gotten from y'all and this sight has been awesome. I've looked into all of your suggestions. And you've all made excellent points. My father also suggested savage rifles (we are starting hunting together.) and the tips for scopes has been awesome. Leupold is actually located about an hour away from me. So me and my dad were going to check them out. When I got back at the end of the month. I have started looking into other rounds like the 30-06. Which I have found is also pretty easy to find like the .308. Now I just gotta find a rifle that speaks to me so to speak lol.

Now a question about ammo. Is there a brand or brands for ammo that are preferable. I know each firearm is typically different, one brand may work great for this weapon but cause jams in another. Which ones should I stay away from.
