Thread: Choosing calibre based on ammunition availablitiy

Settle down everyone,
Iambatman asked a specific question about a first rifle to buy during an ammo and component drought I think that this has been answered in a .308 W for the reasons given. So iambatman get your .308 when your FAL finally appears. Scope it, suppress it, sight it in and go hunting. At some later stage some other calibre will catch your eye from the vast aray available today. There will be even more by then. You will have learn't much by then and will be able to select something that tickles your fancy. This is the time to look at the fancy pants calibres. In due course and with luck you will arrive in early old age with a cupboard full of interesting rifles to play with. Hopefully you will still have the .308. This is what has happened to me.
