[QUOTE="Specializedjon, post: 5529129, member: 20193"] I agree with Larry on the Ruger out of the ones you listed. My suggestion would be a Remington 700 .243. You can find used ones all over and you’ll be able to rat hole a few boxes of ammo fairly cheap. Both are great rounds but the type of hunting you referenced would lead me to steer you towards a .243. Side note on the Ruger American, it’s a lite, synthetic rifle so you’re gonna have more felt recoil in .308 than you would in .243 Congrats on your hunting decision. You’re never too old. It’s such a satisfying sport regardless of the results. Hunt trees and take in the sunrise and you’ll never be disappointed. [/QUOTE]
