I am looking to get into hunting next year and wanted some advice. I'm looking for a good "starter" bolt action and caliber. Now before I go any further, the gun will serve dual purposes. Obviously, the first would be hunting. I live in PA and would start with deer but would like to have a caliber that can handle any kind of hunting PA has to offer. Second purpose would be a long range target gun. The agency that I work for may be sending someone to sniper school early next year and I'd like to be able to get some practice in on my own time. I would like to get some opinions as to what gun/caliber fits my needs and see if it's in line with what I'm thinking. I'd also like to stay with something that's on the economical side of things if possible so please take that into consideration.
