Try to go to a local gun store that has rifles on a rack that you can pick up and handel. See what you like. What you like will likely change over time as you gain experience. If you buy quality it will always be worth good money in a trade. Give a call out just before the next HHC and everyone will bring there favorite rifle. And you can shoot them all. No substitute for hands on experience. Some gun ranges have guns you can shoot there. $.02 ;0)
