Thread: First rifle advice

.270 in either the browning or the howa will last you a lifetime but don't forget the scope aswell.
I have seen many good rifles ruined by crap scopes or crap rings.
I personally just picked up a good tikka package with a Burris scope for $2k that I am quite happy with but there is bound to be a browning or howa deal out there to be had.

The only downside to the howa I have noticed is they seen to be quite heavy in the standard format but there are some light weight versions out there.
