I am a beginner hunter and trying to find a good hunting rifle. I looked at different calibers of hunting rifles and sort of narrowed it down to these 4:
- 270 Winchester
- 30-06 Springfield
- 308 Winchester
- 7 MM-08 Remington
Which of the above calibers would you recommend? 30-06 keeps coming up in a lot of places, so I'm kind of leaning towards that one. But I wanted to find out about the other ones. $500 would be my cut off and I would like it to come with a scope. Nothing fancy, I probably won't even know the difference. I guess I just want to make sure that the rifle itself is a good one.
I will be hunting big game in Colorado, although one of the things that's attractive about the 30-06 is the wide range of ammunition that it can take. It said that with lower grain bullets you can hunt smaller game, which would also be nice. Any comments would be very appreciated. Thanks.
