Once you have made the decision to buy your first rifle, the harder work begins. Let’s take a look at a few things that can help you choose your new rifle. First up decide just what it will be used for.
I chose my first rifle based entirely on how it looked...and I chose wisely.
Remington 77(10C). I stupidly sold it when I was a teenager, and then had to buy a replacement 20 years later for about 6 times what I paid for my first one.
