I've been following the buy/sell/swap page closely, however I have no experience to be able to judge that what's on offer is what I need and no experienced old hand that I know/trust to guide me... so the plan is to get a basic Howa/Ruger or similar setup to get me started and go from there. From all I've read I believe that this will be fine to get me going. Once I get some experience shooting and using it in the hills I'll figure out what works for me. Cheers, RV
