I am new to rifles so I have been doing my research for my first. I am mainly going to be using it at the range but once I feel comfortable enough I may start up hunting whitetail. I am a lefty so I am looking at the Savage 10 FLCP-K in the .308 and the Savage 16 FLHSS in the .270 WSM. Other than cost and the caliber, I am not too sure what the difference is between hunting and LE rifles. Also, if anyone has any input on something equivalent, that would be great. My budget is about $700-$800. So for either one I have to find a good deal on a site. And, down the road I will probably be getting a Stockade stock.
