I sight in rifles as a business and have to disagree with the statement that implied the Rem 700 might not be accurate. I would go with the 700, leupold mounts, and a Buckmaster 3x9x40.
Just an Idea, Walmart seems to be selling out of the 700adl model. It was replaced by 700sps. I saw several 700 ADLs on sale for $300 locally, my friends have bought them now.

I have heard the rumors about the 300 buck 700's but seem to always be a step behind on finding them..lol.
I'll vouch for the 700's as well. I sight in and break in the barrels on guns for several people myself and havent had a turd come thru yet. Most seem to love core lokts as well.

By far the best all choice round in my opeinion is the 06 and 308. In those calibers I do recommend the Savage Model 116FSS or the Model 110GXP3 because of the accutrigger and the price.
I personaly gave up on Remington after have 2 that just refused to group very well no matter what I fed them.

Hi guys any advice you could give me would be great. I am going to go hunting (Deer) for the first time next year. I need some advice on what kind of rifle to buy. I am looking at a lower cost but still a good gun. I would also needa scope, so any advice on that would be great also. The reason I am asking now is so I can get it and get use to the gun at the range before I go hunting. I have never owned a rifle only shot guns. Thanks in advance for your help.

inexpensive, plentiful on the used market
accurate
short & handy
absolutely lethal on whitetail
cheapest deer-appropriate hunting ammo around (ignoring commie 7.62.x39)
Mild recoil & muzzle blast, which enhance shooter accuracy
Excellent quality, good-looking rifle

i Have always recommended short action calibers to beginners (260, 7-08, 308, 358 win). my preference in rifles are rugers and weatherby vangards. for a new good quality scope for the money the 3-9x40 Bushnel Elite 3200 is hard to beat.
