Default Re: First Firearm Thread.

holy hell that is some fast learning! Pistol shooting is no joke. I believe the rule of thumb is something about giving a pistol shooter a rifle and he'll do fine. give a rifle shooter a pistol and he'll have a hard time.

ended up getting a remington 700 ADL 30-06 for my rifle. Threw on a HS Precision stock and a Wyatt DBM so really its a BDL now. Put a Leupold 4-12x40 scope on it and l love it. Shot 15 rounds and had a visible bruise on my shoulder for almost a week. Just ordered a limbsaver slip on recoil bad and a cheek riser as well.

Now I'm debating between the AR10 custom build (probably something along the lines of a 1/10" 20" barrel) vs a M14 or a Sig p226 MK25. I'll probably end up with the AR10 or the Sig. Don't need any of those as I already have the M&P 9mm the AR15 5.56 I built and the 30-06 bolt but I feel like a true battle rifle would be a great addition to have for range days.
