It wouldn't be my first choice, but looks like an OK rifle. Scoped bolt action rifles aren't much good in a close in action, are loud, heavy, use more expensive ammo, and not ideal for the smaller game you probably should be after. Without refrigeration, what ya gonna do with 80 pounds of venison anyway?
I would suggest a Ruger 10/22 as a first rifle. .22 ammo is kinda hard to find, but it's out there.
As a sort of related-ish mini rant... I see someone is making a recoil reducing stock for the 10/22. WTF? If you can't handle the recoil of a .22, you better stick with video games.
