I have decided to get a Savage 111 as my first hunting rifle, thanks to everyone here who gave me a ton of information about good, inexpensive rifles.
Now the question is whether I should get a .30-06?
I am 5'10' and weigh 150lbs, I don't want to be miserable every time I shoot the .30-06, develop a flinch, or not be able to absorb the recoil with my body while keeping on target.
Also, what are the advantages to using a stock with a thumb hole in it, as opposed to a standard stock? Should I go synthetic or wood?
I will be doing most of my hunting in Northern Michigan, but plan to move to Colorado in a year, so I will be hunting elk too.
