Hey, I was thinking about starting shooting comp. rifle and i was wondering if anybody knew what the best caliber and gun was most accurate for me to start off with.

Much depends upon what type of competition you are thinking of participating in. Are you considering National Match timed stages at 200, 300, and 600 yards? Or small bore close range....or Bench Resting....Metallic' s, etc.?

If you have an idea of the type of shooting you are considering....check out organizational web sites for info.

I was thinking about bench rest shooting.

Hi andy_o,

Two good sites to check out are:

www.benchrest.com

www.xtremeaccuracy.com

See if either of these provide the specifics you are looking for.

Good luck!

Try 6mm PPC or 22 PPC both are designed as benchrest cartridges and from what I here are the most accurate there is.
