[QUOTE="SolaBeard, post: 5529111, member: 23474"] Hey guys! I'm a bit embarrassed to admit, but I'm in my 30s and have never been hunting, nor have I ever owned a rifle. I’m in East Tennessee, and the goal is to go hunting next season. I would like to go ahead and buy a rifle within a month or two (been wanting one for a while anyway). With that being said, I've being doing a ton of research on rifles and calibers/cartridges, and while I'm not dead set on a caliber, I'm leaning toward a .308 or a .243. So far, these are the rifles I'm considering: - Savage Axis II - Ruger American - CVA Scout - Henry Single Shot (H015) A few things I'm contemplating: 1) I love the thought of a single shot rifle. I think a slow, methodical, picky style of hunting would be challenging, yet rewarding. I know this can still be the goal with a bolt action rifle, but there's something about a single shot I'm drawn towards. 2) I'd like to stick with a budget-friendly option considering other gear I'd need to buy. I'd really appreciate any and all input you have about these guns or similar ones that I didn't mention. Looking forward to getting in the woods later this year! [/QUOTE]
