[QUOTE="sam_b03, post: 7708684, member: 607518"] Are you planning on open sites or do like scoped? Does your $800 include the scope? Alot of people wind up with a more expensive scope than the gun costs. A Browning A-bolt can be had for around $500+change so you still have some budget left over for scope. Remington 700's aren't bad. bolt actions are very accurate. They force you to take a better shot because very rarely do you get a chance of a second shot. 7mm is a little over kill for white tail deer but that doesn't stop people from having good luck with it. I have seen a deer walk away from7.62x 54r (mossen nagant) with soft tip hunting ammo. for small game (coyotes, pairie dogs, and other vermin) and can take down a deer with a good hit is 22-250. It is a very fast round 30-06 is good hunting round. 30-30 is a good brush gun because the bullet is so heavy. It is kind slow so it isn't great long distance round. So if you are wanting to shoot off a wheat field from 200+ yards away I wouldn't recommend it. If you are walking out a forest and having to shoot through small branches it works well. .243 is a good small game round. Personally someday I am going to own a 50BMG and shoot a deer down the center weather is it coming at me for running away. I just want to see the faces of people when I hang a shedded carcass on the scales. [/QUOTE]
