223 or 308 if i wanted an every day gunsimply for the abundance of cheap ammo.

and i would look in to a winchester over a savage

Have you looked at the ruger gunsite scout rifle. Chambered in .308, 10rd mag and 16.5 in barrel and bolt action looks like a good gun

svnmag Said:
Remington 700 CDL, any standard length caliber between .243(6mm) and .308(7.62mm).  FWIW, I'd get a 7mm/08 but that's from a .284 fan.

I once took a salvage out and used it to rake the leaves in my yard.....it sucked at that too. 

I have researched the savage axis myself and it is a very good, dependable entry level rifle.  I'm thinking about buying one for a beater gun for coyotes so I don't beat up my nicer wood guns.  Even though I only own remington rifles so far, you can't go wrong with the savage they are the most accurate rifle out there straight out of the box.  For your first rifle either the 22-250 or 270 are good guns but the 270 does have a little bit of recoil that could make a beginning shooter develop a flinch that is hard to get rid of so I would recommend the 22-250 over the 270.  I have shot many rifles in both calibers but for an all around varmint/deer gun I would recommend a 243.  I have many rifles from 22-250 up to 30-06 and if I had to choose only one rifle I would take my 243 any day, it is a great coyote gun and has dropped every deer I shot at in its tracks.

I have a 270 and they are good guns, I shoot 130 grainers but I still prefer my 243 with 100 grainers.  The 243 is also a good long range gun, I dropped a doe in her tracks at 400 yds, and have shot multiple deer over 300 yds.  As long as you know your rifle and can put the bullet where it counts the 243 will drop em just as well as a 270 and its a heck of a lot more fun to shoot.

More deer are brusied because of bullet bounce than ever have been killed
the 243 is a good shooter but is will not go through a water bottle ar 250 yds it will if the jug is empty

25-06 is nice all around gun. My father in law has one and it never leaves his truck. I've shot it a lot and man it’s nice. Browning A bolt 25-06.
