Welcome. Now is a terrible time to jump in....it is a good time to do some serious investigation and work towards the right shooting/reloading setup.
IMO, optics are the most widely available with tifles second. I would start there. From a rifle viewpoint, I would start new school like 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western or go old school like 270 Win.....the middle ground like 6.5x55 is just too low in popularity right now and will be hard to find.

Good luck!
Just waiting on a browning x bolt.Ataboy....might as well order a barrel and a Bighorn while you are at it....
I know it is tempting to go the Savage route, but triggers can be a week point..,
