Thread: Help a newb: No firearm experience -> Long range precision rifle

OK you fellas are to polite to say it......... @GreenHorn what you are asking is sort of like......Im about to get my drivers licence ,shall I get a F1 farrari or a mercedes for my first car.I intend to zip out around le mons next week......

baby steps, you need to learn to walk before you can sprint a marathon....
shooting with accuracy is a art form and takes a hell of a lot of time,energy,expence and dedication to be proficient at it.

the suggestion of getting a .22lr is very wise one.....in fact,shooting a .22lr at 200 yards is similar in many ways to centrefire at 8-900 yards.....
it takes the same skill set to do it correctly and with any sucess BUT, at a much lower cost, both in outlay and ammunition while still needing the trigger control,steadyness of aim and good shooting form.... it will if you like allow you to dip your toes and learn the HOW TO,of shooting before expending large amounts of dosh and possibly,some would say probably developing flinch from big bangs n recoil before you are used to them.
