Thread: new gun, any recommendations?

Go straight for a 223.....Sako, Tikka take your pick there are a few others around that give good value for money ....You will want one one day anyway so you might as well get it now..

Ammo...Reloads are so cheap you will end up not only shooting all the deer pigs and goats you want but you will use it on wallabys, rabbits and hares and because of this extra use you will gain the confidence needed to be able to consistantly place your shots where you want them. Confidence in your ability to put a bullet where you want to is just about everything in this game.

Your Wife and kids as they grow up will thank you for choosing this calibre..It wont make them flinch and your kids can use one from a very young age.

Think of a rifle more as a surgeons scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. You dont use a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. Get used to placing your bullet where it kills cleanly without destroying a great deal of good meat. With good bullet placement you should be able to eat right up to the bullet hole.
