Heya folks -
Earlier today I went shooting, and although I have done extensive trap and pistol shooting in the past, I have had nominal (read:no) experience with rifles.
I went with a friend who brough along his.... rifle. (30-6... accumark?) and as it turns out, I'm a bit of a crackshot. I guess all those FPS games payed off.
Although I've never fired a scoped rifle before (pretty much only .22 plinking) I helped him get his scope calibrated, and pretty soon it was dead on. I was consistantly hitting a bulleye from 100 yards with my grouping less than 1/4 of an inch a part, which is very good, from my understanding.
Not all that surprisingly, I'm now in the market for a rifle, but know very little about them. I'm looking for something relatively inexpensive, but can be flexible - but it needs to be accurate. It was quite the feeling to see how accurate it was, and I want my own
Additionally, I'm likely going to need a pretty decent scope, the one we used at 9x zoom on it, but I want something more powerful for longer shots.
For what it's worth, I don't hunt, just target practice....
Thanks for your help!
