Thread: First Rifle Choice for the Novice Hunter. Some more Notes From an Old Fudd

Greetings all,
With the vast array of choice for a new rifle these days I started thinking about how a new hunter would choose a rifle. They will be surrounded with opinions good, bad and indifferent from the web and forums such as this. Quite bewildering. Perhaps there are some questions that need to be answered.

1. Will it do the job it is intended for?
2. Is the ammo both available and not too expensive to allow plenty of shooting to build skills for the hunting intended?

To me if the rifle ticks both those boxes then it will be ideal.

Any thoughts?
GPM.
