G'day all, been reading the forum for a few months now and I decided to get involved a little.
I live in central Victoria, and am picking up my first rifle this week (303-25). I mainly go after rabbits and pigs on the rare occasion I get to go out, and am looking to have a go at some fallow when I make the opportunity.
Keen to get involved a little in some discussions and learn whatever I can

Don't know about everyone else, but I had some shady bloke in an alley offer me $20 to "boost the numbers".

I mean $20 is $20 :lol: :sarcasm:

Hi Everyone,

I have recently decided to get into some shooting. I had never fired a rifle before I joined the army and haven't fired one since leaving 10 years ago.

I live in Wodonga Vic and have been out to the local handgun club for a few NORI shoots and going through the membership/licencing process. I've also just got my A/B licence. I'm currently looking for a safe and then a rifle to head out to do some target shooting. Not really a big fan of hunting but I'm interested in learning for the means of survial and only taking what I would use.

I have a bit of a penchant for the Aussie made Lithgow rifles but not sure the initial budget will allow it. I will only be shooting .22lr to start as I was completely shocked at the price of ammunition! :P

This looks like a great resource where I can learn alot so thanks for having me :)

G'day MetalMic.
Since your first rifled will be 22lr I'd strongly suggest you save a few extra bucks and get what you want from the start. It will last you the rest of your shooting life so worth the investment.
