Can't go wrong with a .308 or 30/06.with the wide variety of bullets, weights, etc. I second the comment about the scope. Also get a quality pair of binoculars 8 or 10 by 42 minimum. Savage makes a really swell rifle also. I own and shoot Model 70's in .270 and .243, but I also have a Lever action Win 88 in .308. I have taken deer with both .270 and .308. One shot kills every time, but that's about bullet placement. Good Luck!mgood wrote:.308 is a good cartridge for just about anything from coyotes to elk.
What's your budget?
A wise man told me that it's better to put a thousand dollar scope on a hundred dollar rifle than it is to put a hundred dollar scope on a thousand dollar rifle.
I like Leupold or maybe Sightron. If your pockets are a little deeper, you might want a Swarovski.
