ok i want to buy a rifle, i'm a noob so don't laugh!!!

[Slomaro Z28]

ok so in a couple of weeks my girls is going to buy me a rifle. she owes me alot of money and is getting it back and wants to buy me a little something extra. we went to the range last week with my glock 23 and she took a ver old, mind condition ruger 22 with a scope. we played with mine first and then went to the 22. we moved the target over 150 yards away and i felt like a WW2 sniper having to hold my breath etc. of course the 22 had no kick to it whatsoever. i want some opinions of some good rifles that won't kick the crap out of me but would do more than piss bambi off and get my ass kicked. i heard a 7mm or 39-30 is. so please make suggestions and comments i would like to learn as much as i can and if i can find one used at a good price i'm down with that. i prefer the style she had where it had a magazine of 10(or the banana clip she hadin the nag. bolt would be ok but the reason i say this is i'm left handed and on one of my guns i would like it to work better for me. thanks AI, and don't laugh too hatf ok

If you just want to have fun at the range, a .22 is perfect. Super cheap on ammo and no kick at all. If you want something heavier, then look into an AR-15 in a .223 or .243 caliber.

sorry my mind has been asleep for a week so grammar is gone. i want something i could take to the range and practice with some, but then bust out the 22 because of the cheap shells. my bro said stay away from a 223 because that's what the military uses and it may be very hard to find. he also mentioned a 243, 30-30, or a 7mm, but as i said i don't want something that will kick like hell and back. i am prob going to rent a few in athens before buying anything, or i'll talk to ruben at clydes in athens because the man know his stuff for sure. i'm just getting opinions of what other
ia members have shot and with a single action bolt(correct me if i'm wrong) with me being left handed it's very ackward, i looked at a 7mm the other night and that was the main problem. keep it coming fellas. ruben matched me with a glock 23 and i will never get rid of that gun. . . .ever.
