I am looking for an inexpensive rifle to start hunting whitetail deer. I am left handed so if it is a bolt action rifle I would ask for a left handed one. I am also unsure of what caliber either. My friend recommends .30-06. I am also unsure about scopes. I plan to hunt in Wisconsin and IL. I also want to move out to the Pacific Northwest and would like to be able to use it out there and here in the midwest. I have been looking at a Remington 700 but I am confused about their lefthanded models. They seemed to have a lot of them varying in price. I am looking for a standard rifle not anything special.
I am also looking to get a .22 for small game; mainly squirrels and rabbits. Any suggestions on one that isnt to much money. I am mainly a pistol shooter but I do have a shotgun for Home Defense. Its a Mossberg 590 in tactical black and all the fun accessories. I was mainly looking for a decent hunting rifle now and then when I have the $$$ an ubertactical rifle.
