[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1525068, member: 78438"] Most of the advice that new guys get from the guys on here that have 6000 dollar rigs is **** good advice and will save you money in the long run. They've been through it already and have made the costly mistakes that many of us have made. Which is often starting out with sub-par equipment and then having to upgrade all the time, when you'd have been better off to buy the right stuff from the start. Most new guys ask pretty specific questions about their goals, if those goals involve shooting past 1000, you may as well get your checkbook out, it's not going to be cheap if you want to be successful. This doesn't mean you can't take your grandpa's 30-06 with a 4x weaver, point it at the horizon, and hit a barn at 1000, but that's not what most are trying to achieve. If you ask questions about long range shooting on a forum dedicated to long range hunting and shooting, your going to get advice about that, not how to hit a beer can at 200 yards with your 22lr. Some of the members on this site are among the best of the best when it comes to LR shooting and gun smithing, and almost all of them are happy to share their knowledge about this sport. This has saved many of us countless hours and lots of money because they have already spent the time and money to figure out how all of this is done. Then they just give that info away, it's amazing how willing these guys are to give up their secrets. If you don't like the advice, don't take it, and have fun with your pellet gun. [/QUOTE]
