Hey guys,
This summer i'll be turning 15 and im looking to get myself a rifle. I've shot about a million rounds of 22 lr in the past and im comfortable with them, but i feel like i want somthing a little bigger. My friend in the armed forces took me out to the range for the day and he brough his Glock chambered in 9mm, and that was a dream to shoot. Finally he pulled out his Remmington 700 chambered in 6mm, which kicked a little too hard for my likeing. Mind you, there was no recoil pad and we were shooting benchrest, so that could be a factor, but im looking for some other opinions.
Cost is also a factor, because while i'd love to get a semi auto MG34, four grand is about $3600 dollars too high. Somthing in the range of 100-400 would be ideal, but id be willing to scrape together a little more money for a quality gun.
Plan A was to get a Savage Mk II BSEV, or possibly the same rifle in .17HMR (BSEV93r17)
Now im starting to think that i should save for a garand, but i dont know if my shoulder/wallet could handle 30-06.
Thanks in advance
