My daughter and I have decided to take up sport shooting together as we both enjoy it, and it is a way for me to bond with my kid. We took our safety courses together at the end of December and we are waiting to get our licences.
During this time I have been doing some research the best way I know of considering I know next to nothing about all the different guns out there, but I think I have narrowed things down to 2 rifles for us to start with.
1st choice is the Derya TM-22. It seems to be a pretty reliable and simple rifle. I think it is a pretty solid choice for a 15 year old to learn to shoot on, and we can make it look tacti-cool. Yes, I know that slang word, not sure if I am proud of it or not. LOL
2nd choice is a Hoya M1500 Canadian Flag APC chambered in .308. While I strongly dislike our current PM, I am very much a red blooded Canadian, and well, this rifle seems to tick everything for me. I can use it for hunting, or for some longer distance target practice.
What do you all think of my choices? Are they good? bad? anything I should watch for with these rifles? Are there better rifles I should be considering? Am I completely out to lunch and look like an idiot with my choices?
Cheers!
