Greetings folks,
I am long time hunter & shooter that at one time or another has competed in virtually every shooting discipline save one, air gunning. I don’t say that to boast, but rather to give some context.
I am finally setting my eye on this sport & as I look at the various guns & equipment of FT I am frankly amazed. For the 1st time in decades I am in position where I don’t know what I don’t know. Worse still, I really don’t have the gumption of spending weeks researching every rifle & scope so if y’all could provide some suggestions I would be most appreciative!
While I have read the 177 vs 22 controversy I believe I would prefer a 22 anyway because it will likely get used for critter killin as well as HFT. Im old school so would prefer a nice wood stock as opposed to synthetic. I would also ask for a recommendations as to what glass to put on it.
The only other question is price. While I am blessed to be able to afford to buy what I want, I won’t spend a lot just because I can. I have to perceive some value in it so if you could, qualify your recommendations on why that is what I should get. I know a lot of it will be highly subjective but its your opinions & insights that I am looking for.
Finally, I love classic looking rifles & I like bullpups, I have no interest in something that looks like it belongs on the set of Star Wars.
