Thread: First rifle considerations

Make sure your package has a low magnification at the bottom end if you're going to be bush hunting. 2 or 3 at the bottom end is good for field of view. 3-9 or 2-10 would cover most scenarios from 40m to 300m.
If you can save just a little bit more you could buy a 22LR for range practice, which would save you lots on ammo. I just did that. By my calculations my 22 will pay for itself once I've shot 100 rounds through it vs my centrefire.
The rifles both weigh similar, are the same length and have the same scope magnification range.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
