Thread: Newbie needs help setting up.

Hi everyone.

I'm a complete newbie to target shooting, and at the moment just going through the steps to get my license.
I'm already looking at what rifle to buy when I get my license. As I know nothing I would love your guys help on this.

I have up to $3000 to spend on the rifle, and that could be without a scope as I'm happy to use iron sights for a while.
I really just want to use the rifle for target shooting, not too bothered about hunting at the moment.

Also which caliber to buy, and make of rifle. I want to fire decent distances maybe up to 1000m.
Obviously i will need a scope for anything above 300m. But I'm happy firing up to 300m in the meantime.

Would love your input.

Its horrible being a newbie, but you have to start somewhere.
