Thread: Silencer question

If he doesn't want to start on a .22 that's fine, he's a student, probably isn't earning that much money and more importantly it is more likely he can find and use peoples .22s who are willing to let him pop off 100s of rounds for free or for very cheap at indoor clubs with club guns. I agree he should get his practice in, but with limited funds and the end goal being goats and deer a .308 is the ticket.

Just make sure you get plenty of range time with the rifle before you take it hunting, go with someone who knows what they are doing, even shooting 'cheap fmj' before you zero with hunting loads will give you a feel for the rifle. Go down to a club or a mates farm and practice fundamentals with the .22.

People will spend your money quickly on this forum. Take their advice as it is sound in principle, but get the rifle you want, and get practice with a .22 without buying one.
