Hello. I am not even sure if this is the appropriate place to post an introductory thread and if not I apologize in advance. I'm a little nervous posting here for the first time because I'm not very knowledgeable but I am willing to learn and interested. I have been watching YouTube reviews and reading about firearms or firearm safety for several months now.
I am looking to buy a Rifle and a Pistol. I have moderate experience with firearms from shooting with friends but I have never owned my own. They have encouraged me to get into firearms myself and I have a few questions. Thank you for humoring me as I am sure you have all heard these questions before.
I'd like to preface my questions with a few things. I plan on using my rifle mainly for range shooting (target practice) and I will not be hunting with this gun. I expect to keep the rifle as a backup prepper rifle. I plan on using my pistol for home defense & obviously for shooting at the range for practice. (I do not plan to carry.)
In addition, I don't want the cheapest but I certainly don't want to get the most expensive option available. As long as it is reliable & well built then I am happy.
So on to my questions:
What would you say is the best rifle round for range shooting or preparedness and what corresponding rifle would you suggest?
What type of pistol round would you recommend for home defense and what corresponding pistol would you recommend?
Can you suggest an easily accessible and secure bed-side safe for a pistol?
Can you suggest an affordable, reliable, gun safe for 1 to 3 rifles?
It's a bonus if the ammo is cheap for your selections.
Thank you so much for your time.
