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...

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...

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.

Hi Green horn welcome. As other have stated correctly you need to start with a 22 bolt rifle like a Tikka T1X. Here in AKL you will be able to practice at a couple of Deer Stalkers ranges. There are...

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.
