I need help!! I've been target shooting with hand guns, compound bow, even a little trap shooting with a shot gun, I've never owned a rifle, except my favorite henry .22, but I have the itch for a little more distance, thinking hunting out west or just being accurate as possible from further than 50 yards. Can anyone recommend a versatile caliber that might fit the bill for a first timer? a gun recommendation would be appreciated as well, I have about 12-1500 to spend on something.
