Which gun I should Buy?

[Prepp_45]

I need to buy a new gun for hunting. However, I got stuck in taking the correct decision on the gun the brand, caliber, or type. I have one Marlin 336. So can you guys please suggest to me one of the affordable and good rifles for hunting? I also did some research on this and read several blogs on this. Still need some advice Thanks for any inputs.

Savage makes a fine rifle and depending on your budget you can spen anywhere from 300-1500 dollars.  As for caliber that depends on what your hunting?   You should provide more info on what your hunting and budget.

Any Savage whatever caliber you're comfortable with.

What is affordable to you?

I had the same question a couple years back. I went with a savage axis in 30 06. Was 330 bucks with a scope and shoots great. The scope is definitely on the cheap side that I will upgrade at some point.

And maybe where, as in open country or timber.  Capable at one may not be stellar at the other.

Savage or Tikka for a gun under $800 that will shoot factory loads well and be very accurate.

Tough to beat Savage or Ruger American for basic value.

Take a look at the Savage 110 Storm.

Real happy with mine.

What species are you going to be hunting?  deer, elk, antelope, bear, moose........

What type of hunting will you be doing? Road hunting, spot and stalk, sitting in a stand, still hunting, etc?

This. I have one also, put a Sig Sauer scope on it. Great rifle and value IMO.

Tikka in .300WSM it covers all the above

Assuming you are asking about deer hunting...
Last year I bought a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor.  Paid less than $400 for it at BiMart, bought it as a "backup rifle" on the advice of several buddies that have one.  I took it to the range one time and was shooting a sub-MOA group with Hornandy 143 gr ELDx bullets.  I let my 12 year old try it.  His first 3 shots were nearly touching.  He announced to me that he was going to hunt with it that fall.  He has used it this year and last year, as did my 21 year old.  They have killed 4 mule deer, 2 antelope and a bear with it. Closest shot was 115 yards, longest was 355. None of those animals ran more than 50 yards and none needed more than one shot.  This year I upgraded the scope to a SIG Whiskey 5.  My 13 year old rings steel at 500 yards without trouble shot after shot.  He is less than 100 lbs and can shoot it all day without the recoil bothering him.
Unless you are going for "bigger game" (Elk, Moose, etc...) I would recommend this rifle. I bought the "Predator" model (it's green) because it comes with a factory mounted rail for your scope.
I keep hearing this comment over and over and I'll add my voice to it:  "This rifle shoots WAY better than a $400 gun has any right to shoot".
 I know there's a lot of controversy about this round, but needless to say; I am impressed with mine.

Tikka 7mm Rem Mag, mine is my favorite rifle, smooth and accurate!
