I agree with those who don't like the entry level priced rifles. A few years back, I borrowed a savage axis in 7mm08 for a moose hunt as I gave my rifle away and my new one on order was taking it's time. In the end, my new rifle arrived in time but the experience of sitting I the savage left me with a bad impression even though it was very accurate. Cycling the bolt was rough.
There are higher quality rifles at a good price. Tradex has Zastava's that have a good reputation. Marstar has Sabatti for 30% off. I have bought from both of these places and have been treated well. I do agree with the advice to stay away from the magnums, a 308 win does most everything you need in Alberta.
Good luck and post what you get.
