Hey all,
I'm buying my first rifle and wanted some forum input on things that I'm probably not thinking of since no one in my family has been into guns at all.
I want a rifle that would be versatile for hunting, home protection(bears), to SHTF. I'm from MO, but am currently trying to get a job in AK.
A few questions:
Should I go with .300, .308, or 30-06?
-Based on ammo availability, versatility, range, power, and capability of quick subsequent shots.
I want it to be durable. Synthetic stock and stainless barrel?
Flash suppressor?
I plan on adding a bipod and scope, even though I have no idea what kind of scope. Would a 10x scope be good enough?
Give me some input.
Edit: I do somewhat realize the problems that I'm getting into with wanting one rifle to "do it all".
Thanks,
Jake
