[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2656462, member: 17889"] Out of the gate, your game should be paper and metal. You can't shoot enough live game with 30 caliber anything to learn the basics, develop proficiency. Learning position building, trigger control, vertical ballistics, turret twirling are among your initial challenges Wind reading comes next, as wind reading separates the trigger tuggers from the shooters. The lowly .308WIN is a great wind learning cartridge without the recoil flinch curve of the boomers, and no slouch on live game, within its ballistics. Along with the 300 and 338NM, the military included the 7.62....aka .308..... in their MRAD MK22 Deployment Kit for practice, . You can get great shooting entry rifles from Savage, Ruger, Begara, Tikka, and others very economically shooting the exponentially more economically shooting .308W. Spend the savings on great glass (if your turrets aren't reliable, repeatable, consistent, you won't be either......it will move well to your later hot rod cartridge rifle.....buy once, cry once, happy ever after.....you best early investment....cannot over buy in glass), RFs, Kestrel, spotting optics, ammo, ammo, ammo, and did I mention ammo? Once you become a shooter, you'll eventually upgrade to some flashy hot rod custom rig, but that 308W will never leave your stable, never become a safe queen. One learns in relation to how many rounds one's billfold can send down range. [/QUOTE]
