    Also, in terms of the qualities of the gun itself, as I am a new shooter I want one with a milder kick, bolt action, and with good accuracy.

    Any suggestions?
    For a milder kick - have a good recoil pad on it - consider a suppressor to remove the noise and more recoil -
    Then choose something mid range (not a magnum nor a little cal) - plenty of choice in calibres - and bullet weights

    Oh and practice
