Yup this. Get something, shoot the crap out of it and realise then what you really want - calibre, stock, trigger, scope, bipod, ammunition - then go out and buy *that* one with all the bells and whistles you can afford.

But because there is no *best* rifle and you've written it's a first rifle, grab a .22 and shoot the living daylights out. It's cheap to shoot, easy to learn safety on and easy/quiet to shoot anywhere.
