as for caliber, if you are dead set on going centerfire (if this is your first rifle I HIGHLY recommend getting a .22, despite what you said in your post) .270 is a pretty good choice. if you want a little more pop I would probably go .30-06, which can be an extremely versatile cartridge also, if this is your first rifle learn how to shoot irons before you put glass on it | ||

IMO, you should maybe borrow a gun or something before you just straight up buy one to go hunting. It seems like a pretty big investment if you never did it before...I live in southern Louisiana and tried hunting a few times, and it never really appealed to me despite having effortless access to it. If you have gone hunting before thought, good luck and have fun ^_^. And remember to clean your gun after every hunt! The point is I'm getting my licenses, then it'll take a few months before I can buy something. During that time, I'll go. Also, frankly it's not a big investment for me. I've set a price to be reasonable but money is not a problem in the slightest.

It seems like a lot of people think I need a .22, so either I'll just get one or I'll borrow a friends. I already have a buddy who has a few and said he'd let me borrow his for an extended period of time.

If I do go through with it, there are very few people who are more reasonable than myself who will have one, tbh! What's so outrageous? Is my general ignorance bothering you? Before I even get a rifle I need to go through 16 hours of safety and hunting classes after which I need to wait months before I can purchase a firearm and after that I'll be surrounded with people who are experienced... and their even more experienced dads. The alternative for me would have been getting those classes done when I was 14 and having a gun in my hands at that time, getting familiarized with it as a kid. Instead, I'm going through the same learning now that I'm a 24 year old university class lecturer. How much worse can it be? If anything it should be encouraging that I'm weary enough to ask questions rather than act tough and pretend like I know everything. I'm openly curious and concerned about safety and everything. I don't understand why people can think it's a bad thing. I still chose to ask questions here because like I mentioned earlier, some folks are stuck with their old ways and I want to be sure I'm not missing anything. That said, it seems like we've talked about what needed to be said. If anybody's got something new to add, go ahead! And if you think I'm crazy for whatever reason, feel free to PM me your sentiment! Cheers everybody  | ||

You have to consider many things like kick, ammunition size/cost, potential upgrades for the weapon, intended use, frequency of use among others. Most importantly, did he bang your gf or just get a blowjob? I wouldn't be much of a man if I settled disputes with violence | ||

Also they are pretty lightweight so u can carry one around all day and not mind it much. I thought about it and I'm a lot less interested in those, as a matter of personal preference. At the risk of sounding shallow, I really like bolt action in general. The motion is cool, it looks good, etc. On August 13 2013 00:54 ieatkids5 wrote: in contrast to all the people implying you're a crazy redneck, i think this is pretty cool. i love the process of doing research to find out about getting your first X - when i was finding a good laptop, looking for my first 'real' pair of headphones, etc. getting a new rifle must be exciting. Everything I every buy that costs over $500 is obsessively and thoroughly researched. Add the fact that it's an item that comes with certain risks, and you can be sure I won't take it lightly. Thanks for the positive comment though. It's kind of funny to think that people would view me as someone who leans right when I'm very much on the left politically... Perhaps this new little interest of mine is a wild plot twist :D | ||

). On the other hand, my grandfather who is an avid deer hunter prefers his 270. A lot less recoil on his old shoulders lol ^_^ | ||
