Thank you for any advice. I just finished my hunter education and have received my license and tags. I am starting my outfitting and am starting with the most important thing, which is the rifle. I have been going back and forth on lever versus bolt action. I will be using a blind for some hunting, which belongs to a friend on his property. I will also be doing some stalking. I was looking at bolt action, specifically the Henry X in 30-30. I was looking at the Browning X Bolt speed bolt in the bolt action. What are your thoughts on the lever versus bolt issue? Also what about used versus new? I have thought about a used rifle to save on costs but I know it is a buyer beware market. Thank you again for the use of your expertise and advice.
