My friend wants to get into shooting, he's interested in longer distances (not sure how long exactly) He said he wanted something like a 300 or a .338!
He wants to potentially hunt big game and do long distance shots, probably work his way up.
What I told him to do is take a look into Remington 700s, and Tikka T3s. I also said to get a 10/22 and shoot the living hell out of it to gain a good knowledge of firearm stance and handling, and to get accurate with it, and to get a rifle chambered in .308 for what he wants. But that's with my limited knowledge.
Did I do okay? Should I correct what I said?
