[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1916585, member: 113501"] If I had hindsight and $4,000, I would buy a $250 Kestrel Sportsman, a Sig Kilo3000BDX LRF binocular, wait for the new line of BDX scopes to come out, choose the most appropriate and then spend the rest on a good factory rifle in an appropriate caliber and barrel profile. You probably wouldn't have to spend all $4,000 to get a nice setup and the BDX would make it like training wheels. If you feel the need to upgrade later, it probably won't be the Kestrel or LRF so you won't be spending twice on those unless you are a glass snob. If you want top tier glass instead of computerized firing solutions, there are plenty of nice high end scopes to choose from. If you want more accuracy than your factory rifle, you might be able to upgrade with a prefit barrel and trigger or just trade up to a custom. Trying to optimize before you know what you like is difficult. Some people might hate this plan but I would have fun with it. [/QUOTE]
