Thread: First Rifle Choice for the Novice Hunter. Some more Notes From an Old Fudd

Mid 30s (unsure if this classes as young).
22 for sure, that should be a stapple for everyone.

Unpopular opinion, Centerfire depends on your location and use.

In the North Island, I never found many situations where the 6.5 Grendel couldnt get it done.

Yes, ideally ammo could be more available, but if it was demanded more, we would get more.

South Island would possible call for something with a little more legs, maybe a Creedmoor.

Its easy enough to say 308, but if the rifle dont fit and you havnt spent plenty of time behind a rifle, you run the risk of becoming recoil shy and developing a flinch.
