    There’s plenty of good s/h rifles out there, just try and test fire before buying. S/h or new buy one in a common caliber, easier and cheaper usually to get ammo for. You don’t need top end optics, buy best you can afford. Suppressor brand doesn’t really matter, they’re all much of a muchness. I will even go so far as to say they’re not even a must have. Range shooting you going to be wearing ear protection anyway and when hunting most people generally only going to fire one or two shots anyway, unless you’re a shit shot. Don’t be put off by hinged floor plate or blind magazines, unless culling you don’t need high round capacity. You don’t lose or forget fixed magazines. These are just my observations as someone who has been using firearms for over 47 years and like a few others on here shoot more animals per week than most others do over a year or more. There’s bargains to be had out there, you don’t need to spend shitloads of money.
