The Rifle Thread

[Dustie]

Personally my first choice would be Savage and my second Remington,but quit frankly there are a lot of good choices. I learned the hard way that the more critical choice is the scope. When you consider the total investment in a lease, gas, rifle etc..... a few more dollars for a reliable scope is cheap insurance. My first choice would be a Leupold and you couldn't pay me to take a Simmons or BSA. Also depending on the type of hunting you will be doing all else being equal a fixed power will always be more reliable. Also, if you are hunting in heavy brush for hogs or any other situation where you may need a quick follow up shot you may consider a pump action. My buddy has Remington pump in .30-06. I shot that rifle a while back and got sub MOA groupls with it.

Pilfered from various google sites. Good shit.

p.s. shit I want to go shooting.

lol

I've been trying to pilfer stuff on rimfire vs centerfire. Is this going to be a beta vs VHS war? It seems center fire gives your more options?

Centerfire is much more common. The difference between centerfire and rimfire is where the primer is located on the base of the cartridge. On a rimfire it's on the rim and on a centerfire it's in the center, duh.

Let me also add the rimfire requires the casing to be somewhat thin which means usually lower calibers like .22.

Ok, so I'm going to take rimfire and put it on the no list. (I essentially did that already when I saw that most companies have 10% rimfire, and 90% centerfire rifles.
