Hello! I'm new to firearm world; looking to get into light hunting down the road. Got my pal and bought the gsg16 and savage R93 17 HMR last week. I'm wondering what I should get to be an all around rifle.
context: Wifey thinks since i havn't done anything yet (havn't shoot the guns/hunt/plink) I should stop buying; I told her ill buy 1 last one before I get more advanced so this is basically what I will have left to play with for the next little while
1. I really wanted the 22LR tikka; however I feel like the 17HMR is relatively close to 22LR; for plinking the GSG is enough; hunting wise i'm looking mostly into small game at most deer; not into any other big game for now
2. Ideally I think a rifle that would be a beginner friendly all purpose would be best probably 6.5 creedmore? or something without high recoil since i'm very new.
3. In terms of budget its kinda weird; theres technically no budget; I don't spend on other stuff so money isn't a problem but I also don't want my wife to know i've spend alot on guns lol
Any advice would be appreciated. If my though process is off more than welcome to tell me straight up. Sometimes i'm stuck in my little world Thank you all for taking the time to read!
