    I still reckon the humble 22 is a pretty good place to start. Cheapest calibre to shoot, fun as hell. and great to learn all the fundimentals on.

    3-4 hundy will pick you up a good yankee one which will shoot tacs and provide you with years and years of service.

    Absolutely right mate. I have a 10/22 that I used today to knock off 3 bunnies. Got one marinating the fridge for tomorrows dinner. A 22 is fun to shoot and an excellent filler when you can't get to a bigger farm or range.
