I have a Ruger 10/22 (iron sights) and have outgrown it.
I shot my nephew’s Thompson Center 30-06 and liked it. So looking into a bolt action centerfire.
The options are a howa mini in 7.62x39 with the Stirling Panamax scope or precision rifle eg RPR or Howa HCR (probably in 6.5 CM for either rifle) with a scope TBD.
The Howa rifle is cheaper ($450) and has cheaper ammo option ($0.25/round or less), but 7.62x39 is a shorter range round.
With the precision rifle, I skip buying the beginner rifle and start right away with higher end rifle. But I spend a lot more money on rifle and ammo ($0.65/round and up). Like twice as much before I even start buying ammo.
I thought the city range only went to 200 yards, but the website says they have hanging steel at 550 and 750 yards, so I can shoot long range (I think).
