Im a 17 year old guy in Australia, love hunting, been shooting most of my life, joining the Army next year. So far ive made do with my .22 but im starting to need something bigger, I need something that can deliver enough punch 2 bring down something like a pig or a wild dog out at about 600 - 800 metres away.
Im aiming to spend between $600 - $1200.
I wanted to find out from someone experienced;
-what would be the best cartridge to use, thinking maybe .308 or .223 (how much do these generally cost, and how well do they perform)
- what rifle should I be looking for? ive heard good things about the remington 700, just wondering what peoples thoughts about that are, and how much its going to cost me.
- im also looking to get a synthetic tactical stock fitted for my gun, thinking about a "wild dog" tactical stock, just wondering if there are any other good ones out there, and if anyone knows whether i can buy the rifle prefitted with the stock i want, or will i have to add it later?
