   Greeting, This was, and still is very good advice. The important bit is the ability to handload. My first attempts at reduced loads were in 1981 and continue today. Initially attempts were made to...

   95% of the time you can get yourself within 300 yards, as long as you learn how to read wind and animal behaviour it will be very doable. I can count on 1 hand the deer i have had to take over 300...

   Years back, 1980’s or ‘90’s in Rod and Rifle Graeme Henry wrote about the 308 being a great rifle for a new shooter, if you could hand load. Choose a lighter projectile and load down for the newer...

   My friend has a Tikka T3 308 and he regularly takes deer out to 700yds with his. He is a very good shot, spends lots of time working up accurate loads and practicing out to 1000yds. As a new...

   This comment - I just flicked through the thread looking for this and wasn't able to find it. In my view, a suppressor is a must do for anything centerfire with new shooters. Most shooters can...

   Once you have both been shooting the .22 a bit, you could ask nicely at the club or here, to have a shot with a few different calibers before you sink money on anything. Best done after you have...

   Yep, another vote for the bolt action .22 and also it's worth joining a local target club (even indoors benchrest) to get into good shooting habits and lots of range time. 7mm08 is fine (and I'd...

    Greetings, My vote is for the .22RF bolt action. At this stage you both need practice and lots of it. Your pick of the Tikka T1 is a good one especially if your second rifle is also a Tikka. Make...

    Beyond 75 takes a bit of practice and skill, but it is achievable. Having a rangefinder and a ballistic reticle makes it fairly easy once you know where the drop is (thats where the practice comes...

    Yeah. Definitely a .22 to learn on and hunt some bunnies. You will need a centrefire later on for hunting larger beasts. I wouldn't start an 11 year old on anything bigger than a .223. But .22 is...

    A .22 first for sure. A bit later a .223 .243 or .308 depending on what you're hunting.

    Depends on how much ammo you expect to shoot per year. I wouldn't bother with 17hmr as it is expensive. I have a 243 and it works well. haven't had a bang flop yet but they don't run far. I...
