Ignore JS. He is a known stirrer. Gets a bit excited when the word "buy" gets a mention. Won't sell his cheapo 45-70 either. Bugger. :D

it's a loose online forum mate. lot's of personalitys and opinions. don't take it to heart if someone is kidding around taking the piss. i haven't used/been into shotguns before. you shoulda read some of the replies i got to "should i buy a shotgun ?" :lol: :lol: :lol: and don't ever ask "should i buy another gun ?" :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbsup:



yeh, i'm just messing around with people, all for s**ts and giggles

with regards to your rifle choice NG, depends on budget and use. a 223 varmit is accurate and cheap to shoot and buy. if ya serious, a larger caliber and reloading would be better. lot of cheap old omark rifles for sale and 308 ammo is not overly expensive. F class with a new not overly expensive rifle for me would be a tikka varmit in 6.5x55 mauser. a fantastic old calibre / gun would be a early sako varmit in 222 rem. i think some records still stand from 40-50 years ago from 222. once your set up no more expensive than 223 to reload. JMHO :thumbsup:

Excellent, I'll be counting on your support for the "Wall" to keep those grubby Mexicans south of the border from poaching our fish :)
