[QUOTE="Samesaw, post: 2490585, member: 52672"] For a newbie, yer thinking cap works just fine. A Tika in .308 will be happy choice for almost everything you are trying to accomplish. As a sorta old timer I always thought that longer barrel length was always better for more speed and better range ballistics , but actually a 20 inch barrel can do magical wonders that boggle the mind until you understand barrel harmonics, stiffness, twist rates, muzzle brakes, etc. these shorter barrels are hitting small steel at a thousand meters all day long, and sometimes your accuracy wins with slower pushed rounds instead of the violent faster magnum loads. Good luck in your new lifetime love of rifle shooting my newbie friend. [/QUOTE]
