    New shooter advice.

    Hey people,

    This might have been done to death, if so I apoligise, but I am new to shooting and need some advice as to my first rifle. I am looking at chasing pigs around on a bit of bushland my mate owns and also deer stalking in the Kaimais. I should probably get a .308, but my old man's getting one, so I had my heart set on a .270 for something different. A few mates that shoot scared me off it due to the recoil not being kind to a newby so I am thinking of either a 6.5x55 or a 7mm08. Wadda reckon?
