First Rifle
 
Been doing handguns and Shotguns and finally decided to move on to deer hunting this season. After some saving, i decided to get a gun that i could use for whitetail, and bigger game down the line.

Sighting it in.

First shot from 200 yards, after sighting.

Remington Model 700 XCR in .300 Win Mag

Leupold VX3 4.5x14x50

Im not sure how to get the pictures bigger, sorry. They are from my phone.

That will work just fine for every big game species in North America. Don't let that keep you from buying another rifle now and then though.

the Remington Model 700 XCR in .300 Win Mag is all that you will ever need for hunting ..no need to buy other rifles unless u like to carry 2 rifles into the bush ..

Very nice and good choice on a first rifle. As long as you continue to shoot that rifle well there is no need for any other big game rifle. You can tailor a load to whatever you need.
