    Alright I am in .
    You have to take into account what you are shooting and how far.
    Bear in mind that most guys with the bigger calibre are shooting longer range and put in alot of practise on paper.
    learn on something with less kick and then update if you feel the need later on.
    One thing I got wrong was going to cheap on the scope .
    buy the best scope you can afford.
    For the ranges I shoot my 270 is too big and I are considering changing to a 243.
    I love my 22-250 but its a little small for larger game in the bush but its so accurate out to 300 m.
    oh yeah go the Tikka value for money .
    deer243 and 308 like this.
    Love walking my gun
