Thread: First Rifle For Lad

Well after much reading and discussion, the rifle I arrived at was a suppressed 243. It was duly found and purchased. It was probably more than I wanted to spend, and the buyer probably sold it to cheap. He put a couple of shots through it on paper and was happy. The real test came weekend just gone.
After climbing so high that we(I) needed oxygen, some tahr came into view. After abit of a stalk in, a position was found and the shot made. Bang, flop. Perfect.
To say we were happy is an understatement. He reckons he didn't feel it , or hear the bang. Once again just what we were after.
Thanks to all who gave advice and recommendations. 2 happy hunters

And since I've got my end sorted out with what we're happy with, let the cock fight start.......how I got the wrong one, wrong brand, colour................
I don't care, bring it on
