    Well done with the goat. What scope have you got? I wonder whether the low rings will take it down to the point there the bell of it hits the barrel.

    Somebody here will no doubt have the same thing and be able to tell you.

    They're cheaper to feed. If your heart's set on a 308, so be it. Hopefully you know somebody with a 22 and 223 who'll let you borrow theirs.
    I jumped straight into a mighty .270 and proceeded to shoot without muffs, under a corrugated iron lean too...... lots of rounds into shitty old things at close range. seemed to develop a nice flinch from that. And it still bugs me sometimes!

    What im getting at is if you are fairly new to shooting then @Max Headroom 's suggestion to shoot a lot of smaller stuff first to develop good shooting habits etc is a good one.
