Hi All

.44 Ruger 77/44, bolt action
.357 Ruger 77/357, bolt action
.22 Sig Sauer 522, semi automatic
Howa 1500 .223, bolt action
.223 Ruger Mini 14, straight pull
.22 Henry Golden Boy, Underleaver
.22 Smith and Wesson M&P, Semi Auto
.22 BSA Martini international rifle, martini action
.22 Remington 597
7.62 AK47, straight pull

What do you suggest I try next?

They get new guns all the time and are open to suggestion

They just got the AK47 in a couple of weeks back, great to shoot and more accurate than I thought it would be with open sights

.303 and .308/7.62*51 are the usual suspects, .6.5 in some form would also be a good shout.
