Okay i know i'm going to recieve some criticism for my choice of a weapon. I bought a Remington 710 rifle in 30.06. Before you bash me for buying it I am only 19, don't have a lot of money, don't think i will ever hunt and just like to go to outdoor range and shoot targets. My brother has a ruger 22 and it was like shooting a BB gun so i wanted something w/ more power, and this was cheap and came with a scope. Again i'm not a hunter so don't tell me the scope is bad quality and wont' give me accuracy if i wanted to hit a running dear through brush at 300 yards... I don't think i have it in me to kill a deer anyways. But i just wanted to know for someone like me (i know its too late to ask) is this a good starter rifle? (well it wouldn't be my first rifle cause i shoot my brothers all the time)

I haven't actually got the gun yet, i bought it today so i'll get it the 4th, i joined the forum just in case i had any questions (i know NOTHING about guns) about how to calibrate the scope. And if my dad or older brother ever wanted to, find a place not too far away to hunt.
