I'm interested in learning to hunt and have been shooting for a number of years. As I posted in the hunting forum, I'm probably going to start with small game and eventually want to try deer hunting. I currently have semi-auto's chambered in both .22LR and .223.
I'm thinking of getting a bolt action. In particular, I'm thinking of a Remington 700 SPS in .243 Win, with a Leopold VX-2 3-9x Scope. What do people think of this for a first bolt action for the type of hunting I'd like to do.
Any other chamberings you'd recommend? Any other rifles I should look at?
