Ok see there seems to be a few members who wont to get in to shooting/ hunting this thread is for you guys!

Ok here is a great first rifle and its all so cheap and comes in a few great calibres
its a howa m1500 this one is in 223 a great all round calibre great for foxes roos small - medium pigs ect but this model comes in lots of calibres just to name my three favourite calibres and there is a pic of all three side by side 223,308,300win ok so in the photos I have a howa m1500 on a black synthetic stock you can get them in green all so in rubber stocks tho still great they range from ($600-$800) a run of the mill tasco scope $200 a pair of butler creek pop up scope covers $50 a Harris bipod $150 ish and a run of the mill ammo holder on the stock and a pro tactical carry case great cheap case $35 and then when you are reedy to pick your rifle up you’ll need a cleaning kit it will set you back $100 ish and then when you buy ammo remember if your hunting use good quality ammo there a pic of the ammo I like to use it will destroys anything and sorry for the bad spelling cheers

You must be a very steady for shots out to a 1000m. Good shooting.
 
in 300 win 100m isnt that to hard but if i was goeing to do it all the time id get something in 338lap
 
I have a howa m1500 .223, with a tactical talon stock, stainless steel barrell, and harris bipod finished with a tasco 4-16 scope...awesome gun....love the howa.

My pig rifle is a remington 700 sps tactical in a .308 with a 20inch bull barrell.

And have a nice CZ american .22 for the range.
 
hey how loud is 223 ?? is it as loud as 270 cause a 270 is the loudest ive herd and its very loud..
