RE: Bought my first gun today!
Try the Winchester Supremes first. I think they are the partition golds clocking at 1950 ft/sec. I have dropped a couple of deer in their tracks as far as 180 yards. You'll need a good rifle scope of up to 6 to 9 power and a variable. B&L 4200 is a great scope for the money. Also SIr sells a 1.5X6 30 mm scope for around $700.00. That is an awsome scope with a really wide field of view. I have two of them and will be getting another this year.
Yes I love scopes!
