Well I finally bought my first rifle today. I went with the Remington 700 SPS in a .30-06. I put a Zeiss Terra 4x12-42 Scope with leupold base and rings. I'm glad the wait is finally over

Be sure to report back with a photo of your first harvest with it.

I tired to make a kill on the first night of owning it but they coyotes didn't want to play. Thanks for all of the nice comments.
