[QUOTE="trebark, post: 677972, member: 19172"] Looks like you have your priorities in pretty good order. A few more suggestions.... Nikon is pretty good glass but take a look at Bushnell too. My cousin was pretty dedicated to Nikon until he started twisting the dials on the scope. He found the lines on the turrets vs. the reference mark on the body of the scope didn't always line up. When he made the switch to a Bushnell, he had comparable glass and much better turrets. Also, read all the 'stickies' at the top of this forum: [url=http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/]The Basics, Starting Out - LongRangeHunting Online Magazine[/url] They will cover all the basic you need to know in order to start getting back into shooting form. Last - have fun and see if there's some way you can involve your wife. My ex-wife never fired a gun, but she sure had fun working with me to get all my gear together to go shoot and she enjoyed making lunches for the guys. I made sure they thanked her profusely. This helped pave the way for the acquisition and upgrade of firearms. (she is my ex-wife for other reasons - guns, shooting and hunting were never an issue). [/QUOTE]
