Thank you. I am not familiar with the quality of their firearms. What else can you tell me about them? All my knowledge about hunting and rifles has come from talking to friends and family and reading info on the gun websites.

I also should mention I want a rifle that is reasonable to buy ammo for and/or reasonably priced to reload, if that makes a difference in recommendations.

Well, none of the cartridges that you need to do what you want will be cheap. Either as a factory load or reloading yourself.
