Thread: New shooter advice.

Try a 7mm/08 or if you can handle a little more recoil a .308. Actually, I think a Remington Model 7 in 7mm/08 would be a great choice topped with a good quality light scope like a Leupold VX-2 2-7.

Whatever rifle you decide on don't go and ruin it by putting some heavy, big range variable scope on it. Not if you're going to be using it for general bush and open hunting and carrying it around all day.
