Thread: Hunting Rifle

@Barry the hunter, you should give less advice.

It is not set in concrete that a newcomer to hunting needs to get themselves an antiquated controlled feed rifle in a cartridge such as 7x57, 25-06, or 303. They may have been popular decades ago, but they are not now.

An old mauser may still be perfectly serviceable, but I would not recommend one today any more than I'd recommend a new driver goes and gets a Ford Cortina.

bull shit I said a mauser action thats not necessarily a controlled feed - what I meant was not a lever action - keep it simple - at least I did not say a tikka plastic in 6.5 crudmore - I left open a wide range of options - and they all good - read my whole post
