If I were new to shooting, as you obviously are due to your limited knowledge of rifles and thier calibres. I would start with a quality .22lr such as a CZ or Ruger blolt action and scope it out with a Leupold VX1 3-9X40.
The reason for this is the .22lr is accurate ammo is cheap so you can practice heaps. Also it is softer on a new shooter ie noise, recoil etc ...99.9%of shooters started here.
I suggest joining a club or shoot with a more experienced person. This will give you an opportunity to learn proper handling/safety protocol and shooting skils. Also this will give you the oportunity to interact with other makes, models and calibers of firearms.
I hope this helps
