Thread: Hunting rifle

As some others have mentioned, my opinion is you would be silly to spend big dollars on your first rifle because i can almost guarantee a year from now it wont be your ideal rifle, likely it will be completely wrong for what you want/need and will just lose money.. As time goes on and you do more hunting and learn more about the sport, your needs will change. What you think is the right rifle for you now may not be what suits your needs best a year from now.

If i was in your position i would purchase whatever you can find thats a good deal. Calibre could be anything from .243 to .308 its really not going to matter that much, as long as you can find good factory ammo for it & its accurate, its going to do the job. Tikka would be a great choice. Get out hunting with it as much as possible. As you progress, you will learn more about what you want/need, depending on the type of hunting your doing & then invest more money accordingly.
