[QUOTE="Madcat, post: 677967, member: 51718"] Once again, thanks for the advice. It really helps. I've been a member of several forums that didn't appreciate newbie questions, but you have to start somewhere. I'm making a list out of your recommendations and I'll shift my priorities a bit to include the Chrono/weather station sooner. I'll stay away from Barska and Tasco stuff. I really like Nikon for optics and at the current distances I'll be shooting the Binocs will be OK for now, but I'll plan to upgrade to a good scope when I move to a centerfire rifle. Right now I'm going to work towards increasing my ability as a shooter. I used to have excellent control, but I have been away from the sport for so long I've lost a lot of "feel". I think the .22 will help considerably in improving my abilities, I know I'm not ready to shoot big iron at this moment. I can see how this could get addictive quickly, I was more of a hunter and less of a shooter when I was growing up. I'm really enjoying learning more about the mechanics/science of shooting this time though. Right now I think my priorities are: [LIST=1] [*]Pick up Some copper cleaner [*]Get some good glass for the .22 [*]Pick up a chrono [*]Install a trigger (if needed, mine might have the accutrigger and allow me to adjust it, I'm unsure.) [*]Grab a weather station [*]Find a good spotting scope [/LIST] I have all the tools etc. I just need to make a tool roll for them and include them in my range bag. [/QUOTE]
