Hey guys,
For years I’ve been strictly a handgun shooter. Loved running handguns, still do.... but the distance bug has bitten me. I’m looking at taking a class in a few months and have to acquire a decent platform for it. I do have too much money; I’d like to get the rifle and scope for around $1000. I’m looking at the savage 11 series of rifle. I need to find a good mildot scope for around $500-$600 and I also need to decide on caliber. So my questions are:
What Is a good beginner rifle?
What glass would you put on top of it?
What caliber? 270, 308, 30-06, 300 mag?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
