Anything above 22LR (22mag, 17hmr included) you can only shoot hunting in the forest/private property or at Little River which is over an hour away.
22LR you can either shoot at the local range which is a few minutes away, and all the same places above.

I'm sure he's saying "I'm only going to get the one rifle" but we all know he will end up with a centrefire in the safe as well before long
