I'm looking into getting back into hunting again but I've been out of the loop. I need something that will at least take down an elk or a bear.

I need something with cheap ammo so I'll practice. Rifle should be under 1000$. Preferably anyway. Otherwise I'll have to wait and save up.

Is a .30-30 winchester still the best bet? I'm mostly worried about range with that. I'd prefer something that I can shoot 400 yards +.

Otherwise it looks like im looking at the .308 winchester or the .30-06 springfield. And then there's all those .300s that I'm a bit confused about.
