Very nice, Varminter. I agree with Marcus, a nice selection for anyone, but especially for someone your age. Luxuries that we have to work for mean so much more.
I was 17 when I purchased my first rifle. It was a Rem. 700 BDL in .30-06. That was in the mid 70's. I still have it and have no plans to ever part with it. Bought it with money from a part-time job while still in high school. By the way, it cost $179.00 new.
Keep up the good work.
