What kinda grill ya got?

I just got given a smoker as my 20 year anniversary gift from work. I have yet to assemble it but I’m really looking forward to monkeying about with it this summer.
Yet another thing I can suck at!

Problem is, all they were offering were $400 watches and/or various items of luggage, neither of which I have any wish for.
At least, that's what I told Mrs. Phibes.

Camp Chef's a nice cooker. I've cooked on a propane one a couple times, and you can indeed put out some very good grub without much effort at tending the fire.

Mrs Phibes just got back from visiting a friend in rural Iowa. Apparently they thought that the idea of somebody who didn't hunt owning a smoker was hilarious.
So now I need to buy a rifle.
(Just kidding. I'm going to be dangerous enough as it is owning a smoker)I was only joking

BTW, you need three guns to hunt with. You need a big game rifle, a shotgun and a .22 rifle. That covers all bases.
Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Probably one of those.
There are 7 managers in the group I work for. In 20 years, only one has never been asked to manage one of the labs, which are filled with explosive gases and dangerous voltages.
Guess which one.

There's probably not much else to do out there once you run out of relatives to sleep with.

Ideally, You want the same action on all three guns, but bolt action shotguns are crappy. Being the British chap you are, a nice Turkish O/U would work.
Rifle:
Tikka Lite

The stainless is a bit nicer, but pricier. Perhaps the best shooting out of the box rifle made. I chose the ought-six because the ammo is available at any mom and pop country store and I'd hunt anything short of brown bear with it. Cons? No three position safety and a round less capacity. Need to top it with a decent scope.I like Zeiss and Nikon, but I'm a fan of this company:
Meopta is a Czech company that made stuff for Zeiss for years, Good glass and at one time, howlingly cheap. Still affordable, but good quality. 2x10 covers about anything or anywhere you're going to hunt.
22LR:
https://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Default.aspx?item=02301&zipcode=71360That's a CZ457 LUX. I like iron on a 22 and you can add a scope as you wish. I also like the older Marlins from 25 years ago or so...I've got a Marlin bolt with a bit of trigger work that will shoot 1" at 100 yards. The CZ does have a hogback stock (that's a European thing) which you may or may not like.
Shotgun? Lot of stuff out of stock, because most of the affordable doubles are made in Turkey. CZ, Weatherby, Mossberg...I think all are Turkish guns now. Browning Citori's are made by Miroku in Japan. Ruger still makes the Red Label in America. Probably the best of the affordable doubles are the Turkish Tristars.

If you don't mind a semi-auto and you aren't going to be shooting much low brass stuff, this is a damn good gun that flies under the radar:
https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/franchi-affinity-3-semi-auto-shotgun-in-truetimber-drt-camo
The Franchi Affinity series features barrels made by Benelli and an inertia action similar to Benelli for hundreds less. They point well and follow-up is faster than stink. They make those in a variety of finishes.
Or...Buy a pump. Browning BPS, Mossberg 500, Benelli Nova. The Remington 870 would normally be on this list, but I don't know about the current quality of the Ruger guns. Older ones were great.
