[QUOTE="Frank in the Laurels, post: 1213812, member: 8845"] First off we must not use caliber/cartridge incorrectly...the biggest mistake I find on this site... Caliber is just bullet diameter and can be massive in numbers for any diameter..how many .30 something's do you think there are?? Cartridge is what we should be using almost all the time, maybe it's too long to type? Anyway to the questions, for a rookie, more than likely an off the shelf user a good old bolt action 30/06 would be fine to start with, while learning about all the little things, proper form, trigger use, reading wind and watching mirage, reloading techniques, visiting this site as much as possible, not being afraid to ask even dumb questions, everyone on this site has had the same beginning and have no limits on the knowledge found here..once you get your feet wet and muddy and ruin a lot of paper and steel then while saving your hard earned cash you can step it up in the equipment department...also visit a 1000 yard match, 600 match, any of the groundhog matches in the east and if you in PA the Ridgeway VBR will really sttir your blood.
