Hi. Take a look at the new line of Steyr's with synthetic stock, these rifles are really inexpensive and you get some real quality for the value. 30'06 caliber is my choice...you can plink, shoot varmits or Moose! If you get tired of shooting or hunting, a rifle like this will have terrific resale value. The CZ 550 and Tikka rifles are also good choices. Good luck and regards, Rick.
