Remington 700's aren't the finest weapons ever made but they're pretty utilitarian and will function just fine for most any animal you could hunt in North America that you'd need a rifle for. Are you going bird hunting (upland/waterfowl) or deer or prairie dog or...? Depending on what you're hunting, that would dictate what kind of weapon you'd want, lol!
I'd say look at used weapons; you can pick up some pretty nice guns cheap, if you know what you're looking for or can find someone who will go with you to help you pick one out. Don't jump in with both feet and buy top of the line until you know that you're going to enjoy it...once that sale is complete, even if you never fire the weapon or even leave the store with it, it's considered used. BATF regs and stores both will considered it a "used" weapon once you complete the purchase. Anyway, hope that helps and doesn't confuse the issue, lol! Let us know what you decide and be safe and have fun!
