Hey guys, like the title says, I am brand new not only this forum, but firearms in general! I am so excited to get underway and have many questions. I know mostly people recommend a .22LR for someone's first rifle so they can practice and shoot as much as they can, but I know for a fact that I will be hunting as much as I go to the firing range. That's why I sort of want to buy a 30.06 rifle right off the bat.
Do you guys think this would be unwise for my first rifle? If it isn't that risky of a decision, is there any 30.06 entry level rifles that you guys would recommend? My budget right now I'm willing to spend currently is around $600-800 including a scope. But definitely when I start making more money, I'd be willing to put in a little more money for aftermarket stuff.
If my budget is too low, I'll probably with a .22LR to get started.
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to being a part of this forum!
