    Exactly, which is why I think another 243 in the safe as her rifle would be good.

    all I could justify one for is a longer one for varmiting with a scope useless for anything under 100m
    my current is reletivly short with a suppressor and a do all

    Ill probably just end up with a s111 sightron 3.5-10 on it to replace its current 3.5-10 vx3 and ill be a happy boy

    I think a good her rifle would be an ar15

    my lady shoots amazingly well with my one with its light barrel and suppressor. and that is with very limited expreiance with rifles and very few shots fired.

    and she loves it

    Well I'll definitely scratch that one off the list. Can't have the girl showing me up too much.

    Bit the bullet and there is a leftie making it's way to the safe. I wont give any details away but Gravelben would approve.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    If your going to suppress it get a 708. Soft shooting and very versatile and the bonus of getting to buy more dies. Both will shoot well with 2209 or similar

    Come on, ... a bucket of water weighs about 20kg. That would be carrying two buckets of water!

    I'll start running now.

    Yeah, pretty much anything is good suppressed. A good deal came up on a 243, so a 243 it is.

    Now I'm wondering what flavour of my preferred brand it is, there have been a few good deals around lately. Wood or plastic?
