cheers for the thought, that's one ive thought about, but the .308 is marked generally as more accurate than the 30-06 and with only 90-150fps faster generally, im happy with my 08 unless you can give me some food for thought as to why.
I know its a hard question as application comes into play, what do I need it for etc. i dunno, fun, hunting, just cos its awesome, appreciate everyones thoughts ta

It depends on what you want to shoot.
If free range duck is appealing then a shotty.
Probably something between 22lr and .308 like a 223 or 22-250.
I would ditch the air rifle and use something like CCI quiet 22 ammo for the really low power stuff.

mate i love my bowhunting, and prefer it tbh, and yes, don't have to do much to get your license and arms taken off ya, ridiculous i say...we are a persecuted bunch.
KWhorenet wrote:Do you reload? If not, simple answer would be based on ammo price, a .223 and buy a bulk case of ammo cheap. Keep the brass and sell it in batches of 50 or 100 to recover ~60% of the ammo cost.
As for brand...that's a personal choice. Go and pick up a bunch of rifles in gun shops and see what you like. Depends what you want to spend.
To be quite honest, your questions are like asking how long's a piece of string.

Why would you get your firearms taken off you?

We digressed into the fact that it doesn't take much to lose your hobby. In fact, get a good enough lying complaint about your personality or any behaviour and you might even end up in court fighting to be seen as innocent when there was no evidence for the complaint.
How much is a 50BMG?

Full package with scope and mounts you're getting up around $15k before ammo which will set you back another $12 a round or $6.50 to reload. These are totally impracticable to own and shoot but the grin factor is worth it.
An idea on budget might help with suggestions, I shoot a dozen different calibres and each one is enjoyable in it's own way. I'm just as happy shooting the air rifle as I am the big stuff.

I've held a firearms licence for over 30 years....I've never been hassled by police....follow the laws and you can't go wrong.

every shooter needs at bare minimum 1 each of;
22LR rimfire (cheap plinking fun)
303Brit (preferably Aussie made yeah KW!)
12g for not so cheap but still lots of fun plinking and very effective on everything from bunnies to birds up to whatever you care to shoot at reasonable range
then add your 8x57, a few mags, 300,338winmag, a 375, a 45cal mag, maybe some smaller stuff for the girls like a 243 or 223.....
to start you off..!!
