Ruger all weather model 77 in 260 caliber. Or a 7mm-08 would be another good choice. If you hunt game bigger than deer maybe a 308 or 30-06. Find a gun you like and see what calibers it comes in. There are so many choices that it blows your mind. When I first started hunting our choices were 30-30. 270 and 30-06. There were other calibers but those made up about 80 percent of what folks in our area were shooting. Good luck I hope you enjoy a long life of hunting as I have.
