Hey cesar, go and check out AF guns and sport in lindon, they have an indor shooting range and any gun that you are interested in you can test shoot, you just buy the ammo for it.
As far as brands go, All the ones that have been mentioned are really good guns. I have a browning BLR that is an awesome gun, i went with the browning lever action becasue i shoot sawpaw, so a bolt is a pain the hind end to use, unless i find a lefty bolt. Savage makes a good gun also, they are extremly accurate, i have access to one you can shoot, but its a .243.
I think that i would look at a .30-06 they are a very versitly caliber that has been around for a long time, the ammo is chep and it has enough ommph to take an elk.
But one thing to look at is ammo costs before you buy, as has been mentioned if the gun takes expensive ammo you arnt going to want to practice much, adn you need to practice alot to get the feel of the gun and to get the accuracy and to find a grain and maker of ammo that suits your style best.
Oh yeah check out payson sports they have both used and new and their prices are really good, so are cal ranch stores. stay away from 4d, and ballistics.
