Need a first rifle for my son
I took my kids out sniping at rabbits when they were around nine years old. We had good fun, with a heavy barrelled 17 Remington and 12 power scope, Harris bipod and sandbag under the stock.

Rifle Scopes FFP or SFP
Hi Pool Shark and everyone. I wrote a blog post on FFP vs SFP a few years ago. It starts from scratch and builds up to explain the difference and how each type is useful. It might help.
