   Hi, have a look at a member called Norways videos, the principles of marksmanship remain constant irrespective of the rifle. Shoot a 22 rimfire to 200 yards in field conditions and a 308 at 1000...

   tbh i have not seen an RPR in that calibre here since they were released, but that's not to say it cant happen. plenty up on tm currently in 6.5 and 308 around the 2k mark

   I started off with a 7mm08 when i got my FAL and only got a .22 a couple of years later. I find the larger calibre rifle easier to be precise long-range with, but I can feel my bank account crying...

   Regarding the shift from .22 rimfire to centrefire, how about when you can shoot clover leaf groups at 50m every time? Accuracy is somewhat dependent on the rifle, but the shooter is more important....

   How long is a piece of string, I still don't know if I'm ready it is a full on learning curve at 54 and who knows I might only have 10-20 years left to learn it all in.

   you would be better served by by getting a 243 howa off here or tardme and getting something like a WOOX chassis than an RPR. the difference in cost would go towards a better scope. the 243...

   Welcome aboard, GreenHorn - great intro. Getting a centrefire isn't a great idea until you have mastered the fundamentals in a few different shooting positions. It is too easy to develop bad...

   the b.a is a 77/22. and a good 10/22 is a great rifle. i own 2 of them. some are better than others though. find a 2nd hand one with the alloy trigger guard. they shoot far better.

   A Ruger 10/22 is a semi-automatic and the standard versions are not famous for accuracy. Ruger make a basic bolt action rimfire called the "American" and the slightly more upmarket Precision Rimfire...

    hey greenhonn, good to see you are keen. But forget all what you have read, start with a good second hand .22 bolt. Shoot thousands of rounds through it, learn how to shoot and safely handle a...

    You could head down to your local range and find out first hand what is good for you. Introduce yourself and talk to the guys there. You may even get a chance to shoot some of the rifles.
