    Welcome aboard.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Get a 308/270/3006 or probably a 223 if people on this forum are to be believed

    You can get a secondhand one cheaper and better than new in most cases but start by searching the forum for things like "what rifle should I buy" and whatnot and you'll find this question has been asked and answered quite a bit over the years
    Second hang out with shooters and try different calibres to see what you like - plenty of clubs down your way, reloaders, etc
    thirdly presumably you are a RATM fan?

    Best of luck
