[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1571826, member: 30671"] I have a young fellow at work asking advice. I find a few questions are necessary, often asked more than once. Is this your first rifle? What purpose(s) will it need to fill? How much will you spend? Not comfortably how far will you stretch? Want it bad enough to sell plasma? Work an extra shift? Pick up a second job? If your not going to hunt or compete will a quality rim fire satisfy? Long Range Rimfire is a real thing. Will a better quality fixed power be useable? Enough X’s to spot bullet holes saves a spotter. Haunt the Pawn Shops, a shame, but they have the best selection here, handle many looking to fit, and feel off the rack. Don’t buy planning to fix inherent flaws, if it won’t work as is kick it to the curb, don’t throw good money after bad, look for turn key set ups. [/QUOTE]
