    what is the rifles job going to be?

    Id be pushing you towards something like a .243 for a low recoil but also big game capable
    223 on big game is marginal for someone starting out

    Hi Bill. I have my eyes on a new Tikka and scope. Whether T1X or T3X will depend on caliber selection.
