Hello friend. If it was me , and granted its not . But if it was I would look into buying a Savage rifle, in a 7mm rem mag. For the money you cant get a better rifle on the market. I still have my first 270 cal. Savage modle 110. I am not an expert on looking at books, but I do love to hunt . I am not a big 30 cal. fan . Even though they have proven themselfs time and time again. But I do like my 7mm rem mag. I guess it really comes down to what you like , and what you want to buy . Not what we would like you to buy. whatever you get , you just need to shoot it enough to gain enough confidence in it so that you will enjoy it. Hunt safe. Thanks Leroy.
