    Hi guys,

    New to the forum. I live in the Bay of Plenty, mostly shoot rimfire rifle. This forum is such a great place to learn and gather information.

    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum. You may well be the first normal member we have ever had but I am sure we can fix that for you. Ha ha ha ha
    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

    Start a post and you'll be flooded with super-ultra-biased info and advice. Love it! What are you wanting to hunt? Unless it's just bunnies then IMHO .223's are great all round rifles. Let the calibre battle begin...

    Hassel away AJ .... that's what we do here

    Only dumb question is the one you wanted to ask but didn't ask.

    Don't waste your time with the 17hmr or the .22mag, unless you want to that is ....... Go straight for the .223, you will save lots of time and money that way.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Nice rifle, if I go a 223 I am thinking ar but that seems to open a mine field to the novice.

    You're not wrong there. There's plenty of folk on here who know those well so can help though - depends what you want it for I guess. All the best on your search.
