Other than the muzzleloader I recently bought, I have inherited all my rifles and have never bought one of my own.
I'm not much of a rifle hunter, but am going to start with a few trips and animals. I've settled on the Browning X-bolt in .270 caliber. I'm planning on using it for my elk hunt next year. I read an article by Boddington arguing that a .270 is ideal for mountain sheep as well.
I struggled for a long time deciding between the .270 and .30-06, about as much as it's been debated for decades but alas there I am heading.
Lastly I do have a Remington 600 mohawk in .308, but my concern for taking that on the elk hunt is the short barrel as designed.
