Hunting Rifle Recommendations?

[TennVol]

I'm partial to synthetic stocked rifles. They don't show the dings and scratches so much and you don't have to worry about the point of impact changing due to weather related issues that wood-stocked rifles may have.

I've got a Mod 70 in .30-06 that has never failed me, so I'm kinda partial to that caliber.

Find a rifle that fits you and one you feel comfortable with. That is the rifle you should buy. Also, don't go cheap on optics. You get what you pay for.
