[QUOTE="Eagle eyes 17, post: 1571796, member: 107249"] Here is an Example : My first " Long Range Rifle " that I could afford was a 'Remington 700 ADL S.S. Combo.' chambered for a '308 Winchester' Cartridge and the reasons for that choice started with the fact that the Rem. 700 would be a good base to build off of and I could get it for under $500 including tax, which was in my budget and it came with a scope, now as we all know the scopes that they put on these Combo's are going to be bottom end scopes, knowing that I had a better scope that I could use from another Rifle. The other thing that most of us know about is that Remington's 700 Rifles Start out with the ADL then BDL, CDL and a whole array of other's. But the ADL was a good starter for me because I could make some improvements as I could afford them like , Trigger and Stock So my focus was to get the Best Rifle that I could afford to get started with, that had the Cartridge that I wanted. My Starting Budget was going to be between $500 - $750 total … Rifle …, $450 … Scope ..$250 ( I already had one) its value was about $300. but I got it on Sale … Ammo ..$ 40 … Targets..$ 10 …..Total … $750.00 … Actual cost $500 because I already had a Scope [/QUOTE]
