Mastiff 7 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi all, Just stumbled across this forum and I have o say I'm glad I have. I've been air-rifle target shooting for a number of years now and am looking to upgrade to full bore rifle target shooting (no interest in stalking for the moment. I'm looking to join Bolton or Blackburn gun club before applying for my FAC, I've emailed both clubs but whilst I'm waiting for a reply I was wondering if I may ask a question? Obviously I'm not in a position to buy a rifle yet but I'd like to use the time I have to do a bit of research, from what I've read I believe .308 caliber rifle could be best for +500 yard target shooting, is this correct or would I be better starting out with a .22? For the record I'm a fit and healthy 36 year old. Thanks in advance Mick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
