Sorry about the delay in response Lads, been busy the past few days, Christmas time and all

Thank you for your feedback i2anity, I agree with everything you’ve said

Thank you for your feedback, I agree. It’s best to buy a rifle that’s dedicated to target shooting and another one that’s dedicated for hunting. This way you can fully excel at both, I agree
In an ideal world, on a practical perspective, it would be so much easier to buy "just the one rifle" that does it all, that both perfectly well, but of course, that would not be realistic

Thank you for your feedback, you’re right. It is 100% better to start out with a .22LR and then work your way up from there. Look I honestly adore firearms, and I wanna do things right. So 100% I will practise A LOT with my .22LR first before moving up the ladder. I just thought I’d start to do some research/homework right now about everything, that’s all

Thank you for your feedback, I will have a look at all those calibres
Yeah I mean, the 6.5 Creedmoor, the lack of recoil there does sound great. I find it hard to choose between the .308 and between the 6.5 Creedmoor, they both have such great pros. They are both so good in their own kind of way, makes it hard to choose

Yes, I do plan on shooting my .22LR as much as I can
I am talking to as many shooters as I can, I do try to ask for advice as much as possible
And I’m not getting too confused, I understand all the information that’s been given to me on enough gun, I don’t mean to brag but it’s not hard to understand firearms. It’s all about knowledge I reckon. The more knowledge you have, the more you can then make an informed decision when it comes to purchasing the perfect firearm for you
I plan to have a collection for a bit of everything as you know, 1x for long distance shooting, 1x for short distance shooting, 1x for hunting, 1x for clay target shooting, 1x for plinking etc I’m just trying to make sense of it all
Knowledge is power!

I bought a Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifle as my first .22LR
No the police during the safety course, they did not touch on the subject of shooting targets on public land. The police officers who did the course were absolutely great and fantastic. They were really nice Lads but I guess there’s just so much info to cover, they wouldn’t have had the time to cover it all, which is fair enough

Ah cool man

I 100% agree. My internet research is NOT detrimental to my quest for knowledge and experience. Honestly, it honestly all comes down to this. I adore firearms. So I wanna know everything there is to know about firearms before I start my little collection
1x for long distance shooting, 1x for short distance shooting, 1x for hunting, 1x for clay target shooting, 1x for plinking etc I wanna make the right decisions, I wanna do everything right, so I would rather gain as much knowledge as possible before making mistakes or mis steps or whatever
For example; if it wasn’t for the Lads on here, if it wasn't for the Lads on enough gun, I would’ve bought a .308 instead of a .22LR as my 1st rifle, which would’ve been a huge mistake
Knowledge is power

Thank you for your feedback
Yes, I agree. I would also rather buy 1x specific rifle that does a fantastic does for that 1x task instead of winging it and buying only 1x rifle that does everything in an "okay" fashion. I’d rather have a little collection with 1x firearm that suits everything purpose. It makes being a firearm owner so much more pleasant this way
1x rifle for every purpose
