As The title says, Im new to shooting and tryin to decide on a rifle. I live in canada and you cant try range rifle's so thats out os far as checking them out.
I dont know anyone here who shoots and so I cant see there guns. so im pretty much boned when it comes to that. I have only ever shoot twice, so ya, im new.
I was thinking like a .308 but from what I have been reading it seems like its a bit big to start off with, ppl seem to get a flinch from them. Any suggestions?
I have been thinking the remington 700's or a savage to start off, but that was when I was looking at the .308's. I want it for target shooting and I wouldnt mind hunting ether, i do like shooting long distances though.
im 5"10 about 135 pounds, and ive been told by the guy at the local gun shop that a .308 would be fine, but on the other hand he just wants to sell guns, so ya, any imput you guys have would really help.
