Michelle,
I didn't read through all the posts but you may want to check out the 7mm-08.

I was trying to steer her toward the 7-08 also.  Perfect cartridge for a lightweight deer/elk rifle.  I will be getting one for my wife one of these days.  (Although, I will probably be using it more than her :chuckle:)

i would love to have a 7mm-08 model 700 mountain rifle for putting in the scabbard. Great ballistics for what it is. Who am I kidding i can never decide what i want. There are to many options out there.

If money is not a concern you may check out http://cooperfirearms.com/ they will make one in almost any caliber your looking for, I highly recommend the 257 Roberts. Their guns are tack drivers, you won't be disappointed.

I am sure that a cooper rifle is a great rifle but i cant get over the ugly action of the gun. The stocks are great pieces though. Just depends on what you like i guess.

Phool, They are sure some nice looking guns for sure, but I don't think I could take it outdoors. If I scratched it I do believe I would expire right there :chuckle:

Good idea Michelle, make sure you try Federal Way Discount Guns for price once you narrow your search, they are hard to beat for price.

That's where I bought my Savage Model 14 American Classic .308 last year.  Good shop, and I love the rifle.

By the way, when I went to order my rifle from WalMart, they told me it would take five weeks!  Five weeks!?  Four days at Federal Way Discount Guns.

No.  I got a little while yet.  I didn't get drawn for spring bear.  I will probably wait a couple months and make sure I find the right one.

Good, you should never rush yourself. You will know when you have found the right rifle for you.

Your not going to scratch the gun, maybe the stock. Even if this happens a stock is easily repaired or replaced, you shouldnt limit out a gun because your worried about scratches. The fact is Michelle you will be hard pressed to find a better shooting rifle for the price, I'm quite sure Head-shot will agree as well.
