If you could choose one rifle, what would it be? I'm also looking to get a good shotgun for beginners.

AS far as the rifle goes I would check out the article on the winchester model 70. For a shotgun i would get a remmington 870 express, a friend of mine just bought one and it is his first. it shot great right out of the box and seems to be a great gun. it is fairly inexpense but is a great gun for the price

I’ve helped countless of shooters and I have found the Remington 700 is the most reliable and most accurate rifle out of the box. If you’re going for Elk, I would pick the 30-06 and if Monster Mule Deer is the largest on your ticket, the 25-06 is the bet for those extreme shots and easy to find at any Wal-Mart etc and a bet lighter on the wallet too!
O'Ya,
Remington 870 12ga shotgun with 26 inch barrel
