If you were in my situation, what would you buy next?

I'm a member at the PCDHFC. I've been shooting hand guns for a while - Beretta 96, S&W 686, and waiting for my new Walther PDP. Because I shoot hand guns, I go to Range 10, sometimes with a guest who does not have a PAL. I'm aiming to take the RUC soon so I can go to the other ranges.

I want to get into rifles now. The idea of learning to shoot long distances is really interesting to me. But i imagine when I go to PCDHFC, I would want to shoot a mix of hand guns and rifles - it's almost a one hour drive each way for me, so I want to get the most out of each trip.

So what do you think I should get next? I've been eyeing the Ruger PC Carbine or the Ruger Precision Rifle (22LR). Both of these I can shoot at Range 10 and the lower ranges when I get my RUC, right? Or should I get the Ruger Precision Rifle in 308 or 6.5 creedmoor?

I also shoot at PCDHFC, I carried both handguns and rifles and then I decided fuck it, I’ll either just take rifles or handguns and just do the day with what I have. I use my 22 and 9mm rifles at 10 just for fun.
