7MM REM OR A 300WIN WOULD BE GOOD PLACE TO START AS FAR AS CALIBER, LOTS OF DIFFERENT AMMO FOR DIFFERENT GAME SPIECIES. AS FAR AS RIFLE BRAND I WOULD STAY WITH REMINGTON OR BROWNING. ALSO MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE IS BOLT ACTION. YOU CAN GET A LEUPOLD VARIX-II 3X9X40 FROM CABELAS FOR $179.00 TO TOP OFF YOUR NEW TOY.
