Hey guys i'm about to acquire a gun license and I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good gun for me to buy between $800-$1150

[butcherbiird]

I hear the Remington 700 Series are a quality line of rifle. Snipers used them in the Vietnam War.

[Number One]

start out with a nice .17hmr calibre rifle.. good to get started on.

[BudhJnr]

get a 308 or 22-250  both great guns iv'e just started using my old 22 but your bigger then me even tho dad has the 22-250 and i can shoot it but yer i go with 1 of the first 2 but i'm just starting to get back into shooting with dad.

[Budh]

Start out with a smaller one 22 ,22magnum or as Anglo has mentioned the .17 hmr all good to learn with and to also get a feel for the gun and dont rush into it and go big straight away, and as for the above he cant hit shit rabbits 3 -jnr 0 bwhhahahahahaahahaha funny tho but you got to learn first .pew pew pew pew pew

Exactly, he will NOT be buying a .308 he will be starting with a good high powered .22 magnum


As for me it will be this puppy

get him a .177 slugy

[Skullmunch]

I've already shot an air rifle before there not exactly what i'm looking for, i'm looking for something that i could go hunting for game with. but thanks anyway.

And brand of .22 rifle would you recommend budh.

[Deadalus]

winchester wildcat hands down. Light, short and good for shooting out windows. Its only in .22lr but still effective beyond 100m and dirt cheap on ammo. Poverty pack of 500 rounds is like $30 and they are decent rounds.

[Skullmunch]

that looks nice and cost worthy

[DonutKing]

Get the biggest, most expensive gun you can, OP. Bigger and more expensive always means better.

[Number One]

to be completely honest Skull, while the .22lr are good enough, if you can, go up to the .17hmr, its a much better calibre, you'll find you'll be using it long after you graduate to a larger calibre rifle, the .17hmr is just a necked 22mag, so packs a whallop, has a nice flat trajectory and keeps tight groups, on the range you should expect sub MOA, and in the field you should expect single round COM lethality of small game, you have 3 main rifle manufacturers for this round.

having handled a marlin only recently, It would get my vote, it's the most versatile and accurate, as well as being reasonably inexpensive even in Australia.  
Or you could go with either of the following but these are both top of the range premium rifles, all are considered as elite, top tier rifles but you pay for it. might not be what your looking for. but everything i have heard puts them at the top of the price no object list. mind you the anny is considered beyond reproach, and well worth the hash.

thanks for that anlgo but the things that i'm going after will probably be a little bit bigger, such as pigs and hopefully a few deer, but thanks anyway

Agreed, i have a .17hmr i would recommend that over a .22lr just because it shits on the .22lr by far and is more comparable to a .22mag. Considering your a noob and you dont have any income to my knowledge .22lr is perfect and the most popular cartridge in the world and ammo is abundant and cheap (you can always upgrade to a larger cartridge in the future)

I buy this from my local shady dealer once a year... example of prices and what i use the caliber's for...

1000 rounds of .22lr $89  (40gr solid lead) Plinking gun and occasional bunny gun
500 rounds of .17hmr $238  (17gr polly tips) Bunny and Fox
500 rounds of .223rem $454.80 (50gr soft points) Fox, dogs and the odd bunny
400 rounds of .308w $562  (180/150gr soft points) Deer, pig and dogs
400 rounds of .308w $420  (150gr fmj's)

I dont have any larger cartridges because i just dont see the need for them.

The Anschuetz brand of rifle are very sweet indeed! Also Sako and Tikka to a point, you do get what you pay for though, he is yet to even fire or learn rifles, the lad has a long way to go
