    Newbie hunter

    Hi all

    new here been around hunters for years but never really got involved. Step son has dragged me out a couple of times this summer so decided to give it a go. Have a JW15 which have been using for pest control on our block at home.

    Needing advice re something bigger but for reds as plenty around here but need something that doesn't kick too hard as have a permanent shoulder injury.

    Thanks Gazza

    So I have bought a 22.250 Savage as it came available locally second hand at a steal of a price. Shoots well and I'm very happy with it so far

    Welcome to the forum
    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
