"Fit, fit, fit! The best weapon isn’t one that you’ve heard a lot about but one that fits like a glove. If it feels awkward in your grip, it’ll be awkward to shoot."

Precisely why I chose the HK P7M8; the P7M13 feels like a chunk of 2X4 in my hand...

For me, in rifles, that's an 1898 Lee-Enfield RIC carbine. In shotguns, it's a Winchester Model 1200 w/ 22" slug barrel. In handguns, it's a 5" Smith Model 27. But if you're looking at your first firearm, once again, I would recommend taking a look at a Ruger 10/22 Magnum (something I'm looking for, for myself, right now ;>)...
