Thread: Newbie from Wellington

Hey there! Hope everyone doing great! As title says - I’m complete noob, waiting for my firearms licence to come through and looking for options in area. I do a lot of spearfishing and my philosophy is to kill only what I can eat. Not judging trophy hunters, just not fan of wasting food. I’m after deer mainly, would snipe boar or goat (well anything really) if given chance.
If I could tag along with someone/group and learn something, that’d be fantastic.
Do you guys reckon 308 would be good first gun? I kind of want “do it all” gun. Later expand - .22 for rabbits and shotgun for ducks. Does it make sense or am I dreaming?
Thanks everyone for feedback!
