I've never owned a rifle before but I went out hunting with my sister's fiance a couple of months ago and had a really good time. He let me use one of his but I think I'd like to get my own. He recommended the 700 but there are all kinds of variations out now and there are a lot more if I were to buy used.
Money's not really a problem but I don't want to spend thousands when a few hundred would do if that's the case. Anyways I'm hoping for some guidance here. What's the difference between a base 700 and a top of the line one? Can I add things on later and it would be just as good as a more expensive model?
I've looked online and opinions are all over the place. What do you guys think? My experience level with guns has only been for self defense. I have a handgun I've fired a ton and a shotgun I've only fired a few times. My hope is that with a rifle I can go out hunting maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Maybe more I don't know.
Anyways thanks for any input you all would like to give
