Thread: First hunting rifle

Hey I learned to shoot as a lad with a 22 rim fire followed by competition air rifle. Moved to 303 Enfield and onto SLR and finally SA80 all with the cadet force. Hunted with .22 RM and .177 before eventually getting some proper hunter training and shooting .308 and 12 gauge. Then shot everything from .38 pistol to 50bmg and everything in between , 10 Yrds to 1500. Settled on .308 and 30-06. Before movingbto NZ and scratching my magnum itch. So 270WSM, 7mm rem mag, 300 win mag and 300 blaser mag later it turns out I've still shot more with a humble 308 in the past 20 years than all the others put toether.
Choose a sensible calibre, it doesn't matter which one and get out there and practice then hunt or take the deerstalkers Hunts course . All the sensible calibres +6mm can humanly take game in this country to farther than you can shoot .
