Some great tips so far.
Like many others have said duds come in all brands occasionally. Pump out x number if rifles and there is bound to be a quality control problem out there, and now with the internet it can make it seem like that's all the company puts out.
My dud was a expensive rifle in my eyes, my el cheapo rifle (Stevens 200) outshot it any day of the week by a lot! I am not mentioning the brand name of the expensive one because like I said duds happen.
Some great deals for used or even unused on CGN and here right now.
For a new hunter my tip would be NOT to buy a magnum if you have budget constraints at all. You wont be shooting out with them to where they take over a 270 or 30-06 on game ethically, and you can buy a whole lot more rounds if you dont reload and practice more with the non magnums.
