Beginner Hunter

Out of the box, most entry level rifles will be fine for deer hunting. The scopes on the entry level package guns are ok at best, yes they will work but I would recommend upgrading to a better scope when funds allow for it. The vortex scopes are a good starting point as are the bushnell series. In my experience the savage axis rifles are built well enough to fill the freezer as is the Remington 783 series. I am not a fan of the Mossberg Patriot rifles, feel flimsy in the hand and the bolt is kind of sloppy.

Go take a Savage Axis hold it in one hand by the grip then rest the but of the rifle into your thigh. Now shake the rifle up and down. It will wobble like a pool noodle.
