As for caliber.......i'd say 30-06. By far the most versatile caliber for the game your hunting.
Good luck
This is good advice ! There are a lot of great high quality rifles available on the used market. Many of the pre 1990 offerings are simply superb and the prices are usually 40 -50% less than what you can buy over the counter today... warranty or not. Use the money you save to buy a top-end 'scope.
