    Welcome.
    The only stupid questions are the one's you're too afraid to ask.
    Everyone here had to start with little knowledge.

    Hi Sako75,

    bugger it all I only have a 12g pump action and a cz452 American, but I was thinking the .308 would be my next choice of rifle.
    I was finding it difficult to think of a name, seemed like a good name at the time, I have only done rabbit shooting and possum shooting.
    shot a goat once when I was a kid, but would really like to shoot a dear an butcher it myself. you're thought's on rifle calibre?

    Don't ask what rifle or what calibre and you will be just fine on any forum.

    I shot a possum once with a 308 tracer. Not exactly pink mist but could say it was smoking

    Dude just sayin I have a safe already filled and onto the next one .... It's an addiction but a really cool and fun one.
    I love it when it's about the tool for the job...
    Or you could buy a blaser (aka the blouser ) and collect barrels and washers. Eh guys!

    Sorry Brad couldn't resist...eh Gibbo...

    Hey mark, welcome ️ great place for a rainy day but make sure you keep leaving the keyboard to go for missions on the good weather days

    And yeah what he said - just buy one in every calibre!!
