I recently found a used gun I like and wish to buy. The gun is a Browning 300 mag, stainless a-bolt, new in box, with leupold mounts, leupold scope Vari X III 6.5x20x50mm, for 850 BUCKS! If you ask me I think thats a hell of a price, but I also may not know much. This will be my first rifle. So, should I go with this deal or not because of the caliber? I was concidering a 30-06, what is the difference in recoil, price, ect..? This is the exact gun I would wish for if I could pick. Just caliber difference.
Should I buy that or Buy the new Tikka which will end up being about 600 bucks, and then I have to buy a scope?
End the end if i dont like the Browning, i could make money off it.
