Troll season open early this year ?

I'd add the stevens 200 to the list, around the same price as a Mossy, but can use the savage 10 toys..

+1 to the fact you haven't understood that people have provided a lot of info here, if you can't digest it you probly don't need either/any highpower rifle yet..

:banghead:
 
Deer hunter, it's a simple matter of reaping what he sows. I see no reason to defend someone who is so obviously rude. I was raised by parents and grandparents who taught and and rienforced common courtesy, at times physically rienforced it. It is a simple matter of respect for others.
 
short and simple:
The remington 700 is very good, and more expensive.
The savage is not quite so good, but less expensive.
The Mossberg is at the bottom, but still good enough for deer/elk out to 250 yards it will still hit in the vitals just fine, and it is the cheapest.

I think you will be well served by the mossberg for 5-10 years.
I think you will be well served by the remington for 50 years.

Further, to Ricky: The world is complicated, and so are guns. Many times there is simply no right answer. Maybe there is a best gun for one specific guy doing one very specific thing, maybe not. Post more information, and answer the questions the people ask, and you will get a better quality answer. Realize that sometimes we simply cannot answer difinitively "X is best!"

Now, for the some of the rest of you: Ever hear of leading by example? The guy is 15, and at least says thank you, and is making an effort to improve. Does he need to grow up some and wise up some? Sure does, but he at least has the excuse of being a young pup still. Most of you don't have that excuse.

Well if you go back and read all the posts you all have been just as rude and curt as I have so what point are you all trying to make I do not know.

If some one could just tell me how you all are doing the right thing I would like to know and every time I try to be nice and kind and say im sorry I get some curt smerk remark from grone MEN and not forgivenes. Marksmen13 did your mom and dad ever teach you forgivennes or did they teach you if they hit you hit them back?

Now im saying sorry and am I going to get hit back or get forgivenes?


Ricky
 
Actually, I was taught to hit back, but I was also taught that when someone apologizes to accept it and move forward. With that in mind, I don't think I was ever, once rude. If you will go back and read my replies you will see that I only attempted to explain why you were getting so many rude responses. When dealing with people you don't know it is always better to start with kindness. You asked an open-ended question and you seemed to angry that you got open ended reponses. That was my problem with your posts.

I understand that you are young and learning, I also realize that you may not have known there were so many variables in picking a good rifle. Many things must be considered. Does the rifle fit you? Is it accurate enough for your intended uses? Is it durable and reliable enough to withstand the conditions you will be using it in? Does the company who made it stand behind it with a warranty? Are there after market parts available for the rifle and are they common and inexpensive? Is the rifle affordable? There are some other questions that elude me at the moment I am sure, but you get the jist of what I am saying. All of these questions may not concern you, but they do concern a great many of us. Therefore it is impossible for us to suggest the "best rifle" for you. Make sense?

Perhaps I should have started off with a post more like this, but I was so taken aback by the attitude you seemed to have that I went that direction and for that I apologize.

You may also want to consider a Savage rifle if cost is a concern of yours.
 
Thanks Marksman13

What I should have ask is what gun is of better quaulity
Hope I spelled it all right.

Once agian sorry for being rude.

In my humble opinion the Remington is the best quality rifle. The fit and finish will probably be better, as will the materials used. Remington also has a reputation for being the most accurate "out of the box" rifle on the market, though there are some Savage owners who would disagree. I own many different rifles from many different manufacturers and I would have to say that my 700s are my favorites. Rugged, dependable, accurate, and well within most budgets.

Go put your hands on a few rifles from different manufacturers. See which one feels the best. One of them will grab at your heartstrings and beg you to take it home.

Also, it is great that you have mother who is willing to buy you this rifle as a GIFT, but make sure you don't get her into any trouble with a "straw purchase". A straw purchase is basically the act of someone buying a firearm for someone who can not legally do so for whatever reason. There is a much more complex definition of what constitutes a straw purchase and someone will be along to improve on my definition shortly I am sure.

Go shopping for a rifle and let us know what you pick out. Any thoughts yet on caliber?
 
Also Ricky, you will find that even a term like quality can be argued amongst a board such as this. With so many intelligent and experienced people in one place all types of issues become subjective. What you will hear almost without fail is that the Remington Model 700 is a quality firearm even if some are reluctant to compare it to another model. Most rifles from well recognized companies will be good, quality guns. Remington, Winchester, Savage, Marlin, Weatherby, Browning, Thompson/Center, Ruger, CZ, Sako, Tikka, and others all have very reputable names. There are others that are just as good, but these are the first that come to mind.
 
There is nothing stoping me from buying the gun but the fact that im 15 and just so you know its not a gift im working for it.

Ricky
 
Oh and can every one please take part in the poll I started let us know how you hunt the name of the thred is

How do you hunt With dog or...

Ricky
 
Being 15 is precisely the reason that it is illegal for you to buy one. I wouldn't make any mention of her buying the gun with your money in the store. You understand what I getting at?
 
you could get a .30-06... that will drop your price to about $280 for the mossberg and $300 for the remington (at walmart)... and as you've read on the other posts.. the choice is obvious... spend the extra $20...
