Congratulations on assembling your dream! What rangefinder did you decide on?
Do you plan on hunting boar? I know there are some real mean ones in eastern Europe. Have hunted them in Germany before and a hunting buddy from there goes to the Czech Republic to hunt them fairly often.

This thread started a year ago! Perhaps the longest duration thread I've ever seen!

This is Europe we're talking about. Getting a gun legally within a year is amazing! I would venture to say almost every hunter and shooter in Europe would kiss legislators shoes if they were to reduce the hoops to what you need to get a class 3 firearm in CA!
Except the English, they and their suppressors
ah well, they are about to get knocked out of the World Cup so that is a good consolation prize.

the project took almost a year for many reasons .
first i had to find a ffl and a store that could send the rifle to romania.
second and important one : money. the final price for rifle is almost 2100 usd (papers , shipping , mails , authorizations , translated copy for papers ....)
third: personal reasons . bad luck with my car. had to pay almost 3000 usd.
forth : for every other item (scope , rings , base , asli , .....) i had to ask for shipping to over 30 or 40 online stores . because i am from romania .
now if i have to start over i would say that in 3 or 4 months the project would be finished.
as promised - the first picture. i will post more when i will get back from my vacation

i got the rangefinder from a friend. don´t know who made it but it can measure up to 600 - 650 meters. the difference between measurements of one target in different days and conditions is 1-3 meters. i will keep it for now.
in the future i want to buy a better scope , kestrel 4500 and a leica rangefinder.

Your project takes patience to a whole new level!
Indeed! Patience is a virtue, and I'm sure the reward is worth it. Congrats on your new rig and the beginning of your dream gun.
Good luck and happy safe shooting/hunting. Cheers!
