Sounds like you're off to a great start already, looking forward to hearing a few stories from the next chapter!
How did you find the HUNTS course? From what I've heard, it delivers a great bullshit-free practical intro to hunting.
There's plenty of great rifles come up for sale on here when you get access to the Buy/Sell page (usually after a bit of activity on the forum). There's about 50 "what's the best first rifle" threads, with about 100 different recommendations, so have a search. You don't need anything fancy to start out with.
