A friend of mine wants a rifle. It will be his first centerfire. He likes AR 15s but I suggested he spend less on a "starter" rifle and spend the rest on ammo. He said "OK, what should I get?"
I couldn't think of any particular centerfire rifle off the top of my head that would be a good learner rifle for him. All I could come up with was to look at Savage or Remington bolt actions. He asked if there was anything in particular that he should look at.
The only bolt action I have is a CZ and those are a bit pricey for a beginner rifle so I come to you guys-
What is something that he can learn the basics of rifle shooting and care off of. $200-300 would be awesome with a ceiling of $400.
He is not too interested in a rimfire, I figure once he shoots centerfire for a while and pays for it he will change his mind. That said I would still want to have some good recommendations for him.
Everyone comes to me with their firearms questions and when I don't know I come to you guys.
