Don't be a sucker for the consumer shit the the retail store are in to like most folk starting out, including myself in the early days. I guess the best way to learn to the spend to much sometimes.

Anyway, just make sure when you pick up the rifle, it feels right to shoulder and point.

On a side note, are you after a hunting jacket or pack?

Not a major concern, If I am ever super tight on cash I always got the .22 to fall back on I enjoy shooting too much that even if i was homeless I'd be holding a sign saying "Will dance 4 Bullets"

I got most of the gear sorted, Jackets, boots, good knives, a tent yadayadayada.

Could use a new pack though. My old tramping one has certainly seen better days.

Daypack or multiday? I have too many and need to move a couple on.

I got a multiday one right now, But probably only would need a single day one.
