i know it has been covered before, but each case is semi-unique.
I have a good friend at work, he wants to pick up a rifle to start hunting deer with and maybe elk. he is looking at a 308 or 30-06. he is sort of set on a "starter rifle" and is looking at the savage axis or the ruger america series, he plans on putting a cheaper vortex 3-9 on top.
i am trying to convince him to buy once cry once, but he wants to be able to hunt for $600.
his current plan is to start cheap with a starter rifle in one caliber. enjoy it, and when he ends up moving out west for work then pick up another rifle in a larger/longer range caliber in a upgraded rifle.
do i have any ammo to convince the man to spend more now? i would rather him spend $1000 and get a slightly nicer rifle and a $400 scope that will last a lifetime.
how are the ruger/savage "entry" rifles?
