what model and what caliber for deer and elk and not to much recoil im 13yrs old

ask if you can load the clip with snap caps and and cycle the bolt a few times i thought i liked the feel of the action on it until i to the range and actually loaded it and while cycling it was very weird(hard to describe). I also have to sent the rifle back to due to the base mounts being drilled wrong. I'm very disappointed because i heard nothing but good things about the company.

The best for your money. I have 5 of them. Never, ever any problems. You can have problems with any gun. Maybe 75johndeere just got the one in a billion that was bad.
I'm talking about the T/C Encore single shot, not the bolt actions.

I don't follow t/c much and don't know all there guns. I like the pro hunter, but you will probably want a bolt action. I really like the 7mm-08 for young hunters. The 7mm-08 will do fine on both deer and elk. Just use a good solid bullet and take out the vitals. Another fine choice is a 25-06 rem. If you are a little bigger 270win might be a great choice for you.

Depends on how much you're looking to spend. But overall, for deer/elk, I'd be looking somewhere around 30-06. If recoil is a factor, maybe a .270.  You 'could' go down to .243, but that could make downing an elk pretty difficult.

They make a fantastic entry level rifle you may want to check out. T/C Venture, they can be found for under $400, come in a variety of calibers, sport MOA accuracy, a lifetime warranty and T/C craftsmanship. Picked mine up before this years deer season and couldn't have more confidence in it.

Campmeat = right, for the money, theyre great guns

I'm not slamming the the gun at all i probably did get a one in a million its just my luck i had a Remington 700 that the holes for the mounts where drilled to shallow and the mounts would loosen up after a few shots took about 200 dollars worth of ammo to figure out what the hell was happening.  Thompson center is more than happy to fix the problem whey told me to ship it in and they will fix it. the feeling of the bolt isn't bad its just really different that's why i suggested to load snap caps and figure out if you like it.

How in the hell would it take anyone $200 dollars worth of ammo to figure that out unless one was shooting a 50.bmg?

Off course here but, I kinda had the same problem with a Ruger, wouldn't keep on target. Spent $50 on ammo and discovered it was the scope.
