Hello everyone,
This kind of question has been asked before, but I thought I would give you my specific situation and see what advice I get. Since learning about firearms through this forum, I have purchased
.22 Ruger pistol (love it, though it jams a lot... actually good for a new shooter like me because it teaches me to deal with it).
.45 Ruger pistol (love it, and I have never had any problems at all, the ammo cost sucks though ).
.22 CZ 452 Training, upgraded with Ghost Ring sights (I also have a trigger kit but haven't installed it yet). This is an awesome rifle.
So, you can see I am just still beginning. Out of all my firearms I like the rifle the most, and I have been thinking of getting a centerfire rifle. Initially I wanted an AR or AK, but the more I consider it the more I want something like a bolt action (or possibly lever action). I would really like to start practicing fundamentals with a rifle scope, and also start shooting at ranges beyond what my .22 can accurately hit. I don't hunt, but it would be nice to get something that could be used for that purpose or SHTF. Money is a big issue, and I would greatly prefer to buy something below $500. I hope that is enough information! Thank you!
