Ok so im looking to start target shooting. I already had a cat H for a few years. But didnt like doing so many comps. Like a dont mind doing a few comps every now and again. But mainly im doing this just for fun. So im really deciding between 2 rifles. Either the Howa 1500 in what caliber? Should I start with a 223 or go for something heaiver like a 308 or 30-06. I shot some heavy magnum pistols so does this carry over? or the mk 3 SMLE. would the SMLE be bad to start off with. But my thinking was starting off with ironsights would give me a little more learning before trying to figure out scopes. Or is it just not right for a first rifle?
Open to other suggestions aswell
