I agree with greg, if its your first start with a .22 to learn the basics.
The Rem 700 is a great rifle and you can get it in alot of cal. and tons of aftermarket add-ons.
But when picking a rifle, think what you will be shooting.
deer, elk, bear, small game.
Also when and where you will be hunting, cold snow areas, humid southren region or dry midwest.
Even though i now have a few differant rifles, i still like my Rem 700 .243 and .270 rifles. Both are dependable and the calibers are general enough to find at any walmart.
I bought a 6mm awhile ago and even though its great, if i run out of ammo, i am screwed.
My .270 is also in stainless since, i live in a humid area and hunt in rugged terain, i also when with the synthetic stock to reduce the chance of rust and breakage. I highly reccomend stainless if you have the means. But, i am also a bit of an anti rust nut, so it really helps me out alot.
