Just recieved my pal, looking to buy my first .22 and deer rifle. I plan on using the .22 to improve my aim, and hunt with the other rifle. I was thinking of picking up a .308 win rifle, but I'm not sure.

Any suggestions on specific guns to look at? Not looking for anything crazy, just a couple solid beginner guns.

Tikka T1X in .22. And a Tikka T3X in 308. Perfect combo. Both very nice guns that will serve you well, for not too much money. They even have some parts exchange.
