Thread: First rifle

@tom101 what sort of target shooting?
If it just personal use or informal target shooting then it would depend what distance you want to shoot at.

If mostly 100/200 then I would suggest something like a 223, a rifle in "varmint" format ie heavier barrel than a hunting rifle
One of the most consistent 223's I've seen was a Sako heavy barrel, it consistently shoots 1/2" 5 shot groups.

For target shooting you will most likely get into reloading to get the best results from the rifle.
