Hey guys I'm new here but interested in getting some info on a new rifle.
I have used .22's my whole life but just recently decided to step up and try some serious hunting.Therfore I need to purchase a new rifle.I was hopeing I could get pointed in the right direction by you experts!
Here is the rifle I am thinking about getting....
http://www.savagearms.com/111fcxp3.htm
It' a savage 111 brand new I can get it in the package with a 3-9 40mm scope for $449.99 canadian brand new.
Is this a good starter rifle?What caliber would you guys recomend?I recently shot a 7mm rem.mag and found it had alot of kick to it so I was thinking of going with the .270 or the 30-06.Would that caliber have less recoil then the 7mm MAG?What would you recomend for a newbie?
Also I live in Sask Canada and would be mainly hunting deer,moose,elk,and mabey eventually black bear.Basicly I want to be able to shoot and kill just about anything with one rifle!
Thanks in advance
Jeremy
