Ok, I am in need of help. I am looking to buy my first Hunting Rifle. My husband is a hardcore hunter and I just use his BUT! I want to have my own. I am seeking advice on who a good maker is. I use my husbands Rock River Arms AR-15. I am looking for a bolt action. Probably in a 7mm-08, or .270. Any ideas?
As a matter of fact, I DO hunt like a girl!

Unless you are going to be hunting Cape buffalo I would think a Savage 243 would be a good all around rifle for you. That is what I use but the longest shot we will get on our lease is 70-100 yards max.

Out of those two i say a 270. I dont really care for the 7-08, but like said above a 243 is a good choice

the 25.06 is a great all around.
it is light recoil, flat shooting, and ammo is reasonable

"did you do that?"

I will second the 25.06, that is what my step-mom shoots and she can lay them down with it.
