Thread: First gun

Get something that is cheap to shoot and shoot a lot. Practice will have more effect on your shooting than glass quality blah blah etc.

no budget counts out savage , Mossberg ect.
You cant go past a Howa , Browning A- bolt or Weatherby mark5 .

So a Savage is too cheap and a Tikka is too ugly but you're suggesting a Howa? Funniest thing I've heard all day!

I think tikkas a sleak n sexy wee guns but they are on par with the howas for everthing except weight. They are noticably lighter and im guessing thats why they cost the extra few hundy.

+1

Theres a few good reasons I own a couple of savages

Holy mother puss bucket!!! Another what cal/gun thread has gone 3 pages.

I reckon a forum poll needs to be put up on which starter rifle, calibre and scope will be a reliable and informed purchase for anyone wanting to hunt deer and such in NZ.
It will also have the distinction of being selected from a decent cross section of the forum.
Run the poll for a few weeks. The setup that figures highest, gets made into a huge mother f@&king sticky, explaining that it was chosen via a poll conducted by the forum, which is full good keen bastards.

Or just buy a T3 in .260 topped with a bushy elite or loopy and be done with it.


The 7/08 is just an insult to the 7mm family

I would do it, but I am a computer retard and have a pole dance lesson.

No 7mm08s what the 308 should have been to start with. Your right about the sticky poll but people will still ask 6months later and we wi still answer

Not serious about the 7/08 and the only answer required is, please refer to Big mother f@&king sticky at the top.

Fair enuff

Ive fuckn said this before aswell Dave, you ask a question and it goes out of control! the poor fulla just wants a definitive answer. A poll is the way to go then you dont have to troll thru pissing contests and guys trying to show how fucking knowall they are......or you can just get a 260 rem then ream it out to 260Ai and become part of the family
job done I would do it but have to dance on a pole lesson???????............

LMFAO!! You have been sharp as, for the last few weeks. Staggys still goin at your place?

Ladies, let's keep focused here

Can we pls not suggest "sexy" calibers such as 260 or anything ending in AI to newbies... Not really fair to saddle them with instant reloading burden as well...

Basically anything that you can buy ammo for at the local RD1, and that will drop a deer, yup ? So 243, 7mm08, 308 etc.

I am happy to be corrected but you and I are the only people I know on this forum that have .260 AI's Jas. Mine come about because I overloaded a standard .260 a bit much It is a small family as far as cals go and not really a starters calibre. Standard .260 however, is an ideal starter cal IMO
Someone that knows what they are doing as far as polls go, should set one up and run it for at least 3 weeks. A poll for calibre, make and model of rifle and decent but not too expensive glass.
