My parents are antis, but I've been around guns most of my like through my buddy.
Now, in my early twenties, it's time for my first rifle. The problem is, there are a number of different things I want to accomplish with this purchase, and for now I'm only buying one gun, and hopefully spending $700 at most.
Here are the rifles I want:
1. I want to get into distance shooting, say 300-600 yards. I'd like to use a bolt action in either .308 or .30-06, and I've mostly been researching Savage.
2. A really fun plinker. I've been thinking about a .357 or .44 lever action carbine.
3. An AR. I'm in CA, so my options are somewhat limited.
The main question is, what do you think I should get first? I'm leaning toward #1, but I'd like to discuss the pros and cons of each, especially since it will be my only rifle.
I'm not worried about HD, as I'll be picking up a pump shotgun at some point.
Opinions?
