Answer 2

Well I would recommend a Pump shotgun with and interchangeable choke system 12 gauge unless you are of small size and there are light load available for the 12gauge. For a rifle a good quality 22 the Ruger 10/22 is a fine gun but there are many good bolt guns. I do not know if you meant big game hunting for your rifle, but the 243,6mm Remington and 257 Roberts all have low recoil and reputation for accuracy.
For a Handgun a 4" or 6" Revolver in 38/357 with adjustable sights the are some very light 38 loads for practice that hardly have more recoil than a 22 and the larger caliber makes it much more versatile. I would avoid the cheapies, there are good deals but you have to know what you are looking for, get the highest quality gun you can afford. Used guns can be a great value but you do not know how they have been used or abused to the "Have it checked out by a competent Gunsmith" rule applies, Good Luck

Answer 3

first, how can you be a gun fanatic and need a "starting gun"?
it all depends on what you want to use it for.different guns have specific purposes. if you never shot and want a nice blinking gun get a 22 rifle. if you want a starter rifle for hunting try 30 30 or 30 06, bolt, lever, whatever just experiment. if you just want to shoot at a range and money is of concern try a 9mm/.22 pistol. a good all around shotty would be a pump12 gauge. one you could use for skeet, small game, turkey, even deer or waterfowl. but you got to have an idea of what you want to do with it first. be practical. happy shooting.

Answer 4

A good gun for all occasions is a Mossberg 500 in 12 ga. The barrels are easily interchangable, so you can use it for deer, upland birds, waterfowl, and even home protection. As far as a handgun, I like revolvers for their low maintenance and ease of use. And for a rifle, i would go first with a .22 for small game and plinking. With a good 12 guage, you probably won't need a very powerful rifle anyway.

Answer 5

Rifles, based upon high quality, shoot the farthest, with a optimal selection of around 4 miles. Pistols have an absolute optimal selection of approximately 2 miles. Shotguns, firing a unmarried slug or dollar shot, has a sort of a few hundred yards, yet shooting pellets (like with poultry looking), has a sort of approximately 60 yards.

Answer 6

fanatic, bad choice of words, lol.....anyway, my excited friend, you should probaly start out with a .22 rifle and pistol. as for the shotgun, go with a 20 ga.

Answer 7

Gun "fanatic". Poor choice of words, especially in today's increasingly wimpy and ineffectual sociopolitical climate("EEEK. It's a GUN! Evwebody wun away!!WAAAAA!). Try "enthusiast" or "hobbyist" instead.

For starters, you might try a Mossberg 500 .12 gauge, a Ruger 10-22 rifle and a Ruger Mark III .22 pistol. READ ALL INSTRUCTION MANUALS BEFORE YOU USE THEM. Shoot safely and responsibly, and you'll do us all a favor.

If you have any doubts about your ability to handle safe shooting, you'd better leave the whole firearms thing alone. You could put an eye out.
