    Choosing my First Hunting Rifle

    I was initially thinking of getting the X-Bolt but the slightly higher price range was my limiting factor. As it was my first hunting rifle, I could not justify spending that much money and wanted some simplistic beginning to a life long addiction lol.

    Choosing my First Hunting Rifle

    For all those who care, I finally had time to get to my hunting store and was able to get my hands on a Tikka T3X Lite in Stainless Steel finish, chambered in .308 Winchester.
