    Thanks kindly for the info.

    Just what I needed.

    Spot x / DOC maps / Wams to get pointed in the direction of hunting areas.

    Hunts course sounds like not a stupid idea.

    Need to get the Firearms Licence process underway.

    Then probably a .22 to plink with / start learning to shoot straight again / force me to find a local range / teach my boy (and maybe his sister if she shows interest - she's competitive enough not to let him get away without some challenge) how to shoot. Norinco JW15?

    Then probably a 308. Always seen it as a bit 'industrial' due to 7.62 NATO connotations but should probably put that prejudice away until I can afford to be prejudiced. What would be good 'starter' rifles to start looking at?

    I see you guys like 7mm08. From what I can figure it has flatter ballistics and slightly less recoil? Would the purchase / running price of the two be much different?
    6.5mm has not much been on my radar before, seems like the US military like it.
