This is my first ever 4chan post, so I'm sorry if it's dogshit.I recently turned 18 and I've REALLY been wanting to get my first gun. I live in a state in the US with pretty loose gun laws, so I think that it'll be fine actually procuring the gun. The only real issue is which gun I should get. I've thought about this before and I think a "good" choice is a Remington 760 chambered in .30-06. I should probably clarify that I'm NOT thinking of getting this because of it's bad history. What do you guys think? What should my first gun be?
>>65435711That's like buying a hooker that everyone knows isn't clean to lose your virginity to.
>>65435722Hot. Now tell him to fill her vag with cherry yogurt using a turkey baster and suck it out with a CRAZY STRAW! FUCK YEAH MANG! GO OP, DO IT!
>>65435711why that gun in particular?
>>65435711Bad idea assuming this is your first time shooting. I would go with something with more manageable recoil for your first gun, like an AR-15 or any .22 rifle.If you have shot before and know the fundamentals, go for it.
>>6543571130-06 is far too expensive for your first gun. What matters is getting down the fundamentals first and foremost. Buy a Ruger 10/22 or Maverick 88. Save an AR-15 for later
>>65435793adding on to this, if you're insistent on getting a full power rifle, get a Mosin-Nagant. While still not a great price, (60-70 cents per round for surplus),7.62x54r is significantly cheaper than 30.06 (95 cents per round)
>>65435816that's terrible advice
>>65435711What do you want? What do you want to use it for?You could get something cheap to shoot to build your fundamentals. You could base your choice off of what you think is cool or fun. There's a some overlap to that. I think a bolt gun in 5.56 would be fun if I were starting over and a handgun in 22lr, 9mm, or .45. Or maybe a lever action in .357 magnum with an accompanying used Ruger GP100.
>>65435711What do you actually need it for? If you don't specifically need .30-06, a .308 rifle will make ammo cheaper and at least slightly more available. That or get an AR. >I should probably clarify that I'm NOT thinking of getting this because of it's bad history.I wasn't even aware of that until you mentioned it, to me it's always been just that one gun that's popular in PA for some reason I don't remember, and occasionally available secondhand where I live.
>>65435711Engaging in bait thread, where I live its 21 to handgun so you're stuck with rifles or shotguns for 3 hypothetical years. Get a PSA AR15 rifle or Maverick 88 shotgun, they're the cheapest dependable reasonable guns you'll find. I'd take the PSA for defense and Mav if you're into hunting or sports, they're both fun. If you're in a ban state good luck. Once you're 21 pretty much any less than 400 dollar 9mm or .380 pistol you find, Glock clones like PSA Daggers are pretty cheap or you could grab a Ruger LCP for 200
