First Gun?
      #3325 - 18/06/2008 18:12

Hey everyone

I'm 16 and I'm about to get my first FAC. I have a choice here in Northern Ireland between an air rifle, a shotgun, or a 22 rimfire. I was going to get an air rifle but I have since decided that a 22 rimfire would be more useful and last me a lot longer. I will be doing general target shooting and pest control around farm land and fields. I'm looking at a CZ Style 16" as its fairly cheap and has been getting some decent reviews. Does anyone know if this is a good choice?

Thanks in advance

Oli

Cheers for the advice Jerry

Those are just the qualities I'm looking for in a rifle.

Any suggestions for a decent ~£100 scope?

Much appreciated,

Oli

Oli

Have a look at the Hawke range or Nikko Sterling. You dont need a hug magnification for a .22. Anything up to about 10X or 12X is fine.

Optics warehouse often have good prices.
