I'm in the market for a good jack of all trades rifle that will be used for hogs, deer, coyotes, etc. in East Texas. My two main questions are:
1. If you had NO guns and this was your purchase, what caliber would you choose and
2. Would you go with a semi-auto (AR platform) or bolt action and why?
Also, most likely will not be taking any shots past 500 yards and that would be the extreme max distance (most likely in the 100 - 300 yard range). I'm trying to factor in ammo cost and availability as well. I may also add a suppressor one day and possibly some form of night optic.
