[QUOTE="trebark, post: 677956, member: 19172"] You're welcome. You have chosen the right online forum to find answers to your questions. One of the great things about this forum is that you can receive real help here. If you ever happen to visit Snipers Hide, you will see that new guys are often flamed for asking 'beginner' questions. Regardless of whether its this particular rifle or a rifle in the future, all the advice I have given you is a solid start for ANY rifle. Good move. Trigger control and breath control are good skills to master in order to shoot accurately. Start reloading as soon as you have your first center fire rifle. Reloading is a fairly steep learning curve so better to start reloading sooner than later. Good pair of binos will work well for a spotting scope but when the distance gets longer, the magnification of a quality spotting scope really starts to pay off. Barska and 'nice' are two words that do not go together. I assure you that ANY Barska product is crap. Get yourself to a shop that sells decent optics and you will quickly learn to stay away from Barska and Tasco. Good. Software will help you in data analysis. You can find a Caldwell weather stations for <$40. The basic chrono that I suggest is ~$99. I have often said that shooting without a chrono is like shooting with your eyes closed. Having said that, I will agree that they are not absolutely necessary, but they should be a close #2 on your list after quality optics on the rifle. $3500 will build you a fine rifle. I spent slightly more than that on each of these: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-260-mcr-59628/[/url] [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-300rum-mcr-70809/#post494570[/url] [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-updated-32771/[/url] [/QUOTE]
