[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 884066, member: 63748"] Great post and good discussion. Everyone has their favorites! 1. .[B]177 competition pellet rifle[/B]. Give a kid one of these for the winter and have them practice in his/her basement….with a good scope and on 10X. Cheap, easy to find a range with only a few steps away, can be the most economical and user friendly system with developing your mind practicing how to break perfect shots. You don’t have to worry about shortage of ammo…….the pellets have always been available even when the rest of the sporting goods shelves are empty. When temps warm up, move outside, smear some sticky sweet liquid on a piece of butcher paper, wait for the flies to come for dinner, and watch the kids take out the dinner guests, one at a time. 2. 22lr, enough said on this one if you can find the ammo. 3. .223 varmint/target, time to take that experience with the .177 out on a few varmints in the spring. 4. 308 Win, one of the easiest 600 yard cartridges to work with….and a good 1000 yard target/varmint cartridge to boot. 5. 06 or 270, pick and choose 6. 300 MAG, any. 7. Applied Ballistics books….while not a cartridge, with distance shooting having a fundamental understanding of ballistics makes shooting much more enjoyable, for most anyway! 8. 338 Lapua/IMP/Edge 9. 338 AM 10. 375, when better bullets come available. [FONT="]And the winner in my list, the .177[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
