I'm a long time pistol shooter, looking to get into PRS with my son. I haven't fired a long gun in 25 years so I'm starting from square one and I'm looking to get some feedback on how best to get started.
For background, I'm fortunate enough to have the resources at this stage of my life to buy/build what I want, so money isn't a limiting factor in this instance. That said, I don't want to waste money unnecessarily.
I figure it will take a couple months to break off the rust and I'm curious to know if there's any advantage to starting with a smaller calibre? Should I:
A) Purchase a good but inexpensive over the counter rifle in something like .223 that is cheap to shoot and work on the fundamentals before upgrading/competing or;
B) Just build the gun I want (6.5 creed) and start shooting with it from day one.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has some expertise/insight to share.
