[QUOTE="A.J., post: 755682, member: 561"] I agree with Saddlebum. I have owned (and own) rifles in many different calibers. My two main rifles now is a Marlin 45-70 that can kill anything on this planet, and my main "meat" rifle, a Tikka stainless 30-06. I use to own a Sako 300 Mag, but the thing was just too heavy to tote around. My Tikka weighs just a skosh over 6 pounds, and is guaranteed under an inch accuracy at 100 yards. I have a multiple reticle Pentax scope on it, making it an honest 500+ yard rifle. I like the 30-06 because with the right premium ammuniton, you can hunt just about anything on this continent (although I wouldn't recommend Griz). With just about any cheap ammo you can hunt deer. The 'ought six' kicks less than the 7 mag, and the ammo is common, plentiful no matter where you travel, and substantially cheaper than the 7 mag ammo. If you'll look at the Tikka Lite series of rifles, you'll be surprised at not only the quality, but the low price as well. BTW...processing a deer is a LOT of work made even harder when you're learning as you go. Just be careful not to bite off more than you can chew, get frustrated, and chuck the whole deer hunting idea. We need as many new hunters as we can get...And join the NRA. [/QUOTE]
