Thread: hows this for a first gun?

I reckon you're better to look at a .308 or similar, if you were from Auckland you'd probably invest in a 7mm08. But fully realise it won't be your last whatever you tell the wife, girlfriend etc.

Think hard about what you want to target, what you want to spend and where'd you'd be going. I love glassing and tops stuff so bought a 7mm rem mag for the flatter longer distance characteristics with a supressor as my first, but have bought others since then all for different jobs.

Older ain't necessarily bad, and if you can try to get a test fire to understand what else you need doing to it e.g bedding, trigger, supressor etc.

Once you know what you like watch this site like a hawk as I'm amazed the rifles that have come up on here in the last 6 months.

although this is possibly worth a look before it closes in the next 30 mins for $600 odd
