we understand.
Buy a 10 gun safe.
DO NOT buy a 3 gun safe. you are wasting your time/money.

I'm about to start the process of getting a rifle license. I was wanting to set my sites (pardon the pun) early on the rifle I would like to get. I am likely only to ever be able to buy one firearm, so herein lies the dilemma.
Once my license app was approved Id like to purchase a secondhand .357 Magnum Marlin or Rossi lever action as this would fire heaver .357 for close shots on larger game without massive recoil and .38 special in lighter loads for lighter game.The other thought was a Marlin 30-30 but this would be too large for rabbits and there are more efficient cartridges like .243 if I was going to go that large.
Your opinions are muchly appreciated
