Welcome to The Firing Line, dakota.potts! We have some very knowledgeable folks around here who, I'm sure, will be happy to help you out, & some who already are. I can't answer your questions about the appropriate rifle, but a beginner's class is an excellent way to start. I hope you come to enjoy shooting as much as the rest of us.
I've cleaned out one post for bashing of the new shooter, and, from the looks of the thread, I think we're done with that. Aren't we?
