I currently have a marlin 30/30 and I'm looking to upgrade. I was wondering what recommedations you have for a rifle and ammunition, ultimately I would like something for a shot between 150 and 250 yards.

Failing that, got anything that tickles your fancy? Browning makes a lever gun that takes a box mag, so pointy bullets (and therefore calibers) aren't an issue. Or maybe a nice bolt gun? Or how about a semi of some sort, either a browning BAR or maybe a FAL wiht a 5 round mag?
I would recomend a Remington 700 in the configuration you choose, stainless/synthetic , matte/synthetic or the traditional Blued/wood In my experience the 700's are the Most accurate Out of the box reasonably priced and well made production bolt actions rifles made in the USA, for a scope I would get something like a 3-9x40 or 4-12x40, I would stick with either Leupold, bushnell elite 4200 or the Nikon Monarch line. Dont buy a cheap scope! good luck.
A Savage in 30-06 would be a great rifle. Also the .270 is very good.
