 Bolt actions, the new standard!!!!
This is fun, I would suggest that a bolt action rifle in a non-magnum caliber is the new recommended standard rifle. For someone new to deer hunting I think that a bolt rifle which has a clean trigger, quality barrel, and good scope(~150 dollar range) equips them for life. Or until they feel the need to upgrade to something more expensive(notice I didn't say better). I have recommended several people buy the new Marlin XL7, I think that this rifle fits the requirements. I will report in to the group after I go with one of the guys to the range that bought one. If someone knows a better <300 dollar bolt action rifle please share what it is.
