Thread: First Rifle Setup (need advice)

But once cry once
You have your budget which always gets superceeded
Go around a couple of gun shops and look at different rifles. Find one that you like and are comfortable with as this is what you will be carrying and shooting with. Nothing worse than spending all your money on a rifle then every time you pick it up or are about to pull the trigger thinking about what you should have bought. This will lead to shooting disasters
Optics are paramount and should not be overlooked. Spend a little more on a quality scope. Leupold VX1 3-9 is a good start but again you have to be comfortable every time you shoulder your rifle and look thought the scope.
