Thread: First rifle

Well there's some good advise in the above posts.
Id love to tell you to go out and buy and old BSA CF2 our a Majestic. But if you have no idea of rifle maintenance then this might be a backward step.
If I was you I would find and action that you like...ie is the safety catch comfortable for you. Dose the bolt suite you. Then again trigger is every thing, I know you can upgrade them but if you can find one that you can adjust this is also a bonus.

Then look at stock and fit recoil pad.

Next on your budget is the scope.....some say you should paid what you paid for your rifle on the scope if not more. ( agree up to a point)

But if most of your hunting is bush which is likely where you are then a good old Bushnell will do ya. Sightron is also another good brand that is nice on the wallet and good on the eyes.

Good luck have fun and if you do get a moderator remember to remove it and store it separately as it will kill your purchase faster than a fibbing Cahill.
