[QUOTE="Shooter77, post: 5532382, member: 1760"] First thing, welcome to the site and to hunting. It's a great sport that will humble you and have you so amped up in the same minute. I have all 4 rifles you listed, Axis is nice, but it's not great. If you can wait and pick up a 2nd rifle on black friday, Bass Pro had them for 299.99. Picked up a 2nd rifle for my son's Christmas (6.5 CM and this was .350 legend). If you've not shot any of these, ask around for people in your area or on here that can take you shoot one day and try different guns and calibers. As many as said, a .308 is a great round and that Ruger is a amazing gun in it. The scout is hard to beat. I have 6.5, 350 legend, 44 mag, 20 gauge slug, and something else I can't remember at the moment. The scout is light and recoil can be felt for sure. A good scope is a must also. There is some good deals right now on hunting scopes such as Vortex and Leupold. send me a PM, I've probably got some stuff I would give you to help you get started. Good luck on your journey.
