A Chinese person I work with (he just got his citizenship actually) wants a rifle. I took him skeet shooting and he's hooked but he wants a target rifle. He was trained by the Red Army 25 years ago and, at the end of training, got to fire 5 whole bullets at their range!
I suggested a Mossy bolt action from Academy ($150 or so on sale) in .17 HMR. He won't be using it on game and recoil is an issue for him... as it is with most people over 40 that have fired under 20 rounds in their lives.
What would you guys suggest for a budget minded noob with a cheap, cheap wife? The .17 is cheap to shoot, too.
