Looking To Buy My First Rifle...

Gun sounds like a hobby to you. If that is your aim instead of self/home defense practicality then go ahead get a rifle.

I'm a fan of SVD Dragunov myself but I simply can't afford any gun or rifle. I prefer marksman sniping rifle or sniper rifle than assault rifle. More fun in the range as the first requires more skill somewhat.

Google could be useful. Don't forget easy and cheap maintenance(including ammo) or durability/wear resistance like barrel wear before getting them as well as comfort level and feel while shooting. Rifle is a pretty costly hobby and requires committed dedication to maintain them(strip and clean and oil).

For rifle the optics alone could set you back more than 400 bucks. A pistol on the other hand is a much cheaper hobby.

If I were you I'd get both a pistol(handgun) and a rifle. A pistol could be turned into a hobby too(fast reaction shooting) and it's more practical.
