I‘m new to the forum…My shooting experience is minimal. I have shot .22LR rifle for target and 12ga. shot guns. It was a while ago, maybe 25-30 yrs. I’m a current resident of Florida and have been able to obtain a CWL. Do not own a handgun but want to buy one shortly. I am also in the market to purchase my first long range rifle to be use for target shooting and one day hunting. I am not a hunter but would like to get into the sport eventually. My logic is to refine shooting skill prior to hunting expeditions. We are also in the process of relocating to CA, perhaps north of LA. And prior to our move I would like to already have purchased the firearms stated above.
I’m looking forward to hearing from members’ advice and opinion on gun purchase and what to expect from the State of California. First firearm for purchase will be a new Browning Stalker Xbolt Carbon Fiber .308 w/ Leopold VXR Patrol 3-9x40. I’m trying to keep my budget less than $1000 on rifle and less than $600 on scope. Second firearm will be a new Colt 1911 .45 caliber…not sure which model or barrel length.
I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
God bless,
Carlos
