and I did say in a pinch.........

I use a spent cases in the rimfire for dry fire practice.

Rimfire practice rounds are not meant to be struck by the firing pin! Go figure.

Good post by Zed on the importance of getting a .22lr to start with and build shooting skills. I’d go one step further and say a good bolt action .22lr.
Cz, Brno tikka etc that you can tune up to perform well. It improve your shooting so much particularly when you reach for the center fire

Most 22s of reasonable quality manufactured after the 1960s or so are fine to dry fire, Tikka T1x's being an exception!

Man poor bugga asked about a gun and caliber and got pages of push/control feed and the use of empty shell vs snap caps, try keep on topic it is more useful and helpful

My advice is go to gun city or hunting and fishing you will get better advice then the shit written in this thread.

Plenty of good advice on the first few pages.

Some excellent buying at the present, seeing secondhand Sako 75 / 85 at decent prices. Thought about selling mine but No.

Nothing wrong with Howas, they are a copy of earlier Sako actions - very underrated!
(However, their stainless steel versions seem to have more rust problems than the blued ones).

+1.
I love the Howa mini action. I have 1 in 300 BLK and I've always thought of adding a 6.5 Grendel to the mix.

I know Stainless Steel is just rust resistant, not rust proof, but the M1500 I had showed rust spots after every wet trip, whereas my Savage never did.

A good bolt-action in .308 is a solid choice, but don’t overlook other options if they suit your style better. If you’re into classic designs, exploring lever action rifle parts can help fine-tune or customize a setup for quick follow-up shots.

Hi Kev, welcome to the forum. You'd best go to the intro's page and tell us a little about you, or @Admin might think you're a scammer... especially posting embedded links that. You're best to show the actual link text, like: https://everygunpart.com/long-guns-k...er-action.html, but best to make sure it's relevant to the topic. Cheers.
