Hi all, I've been reading these forums for a bit now and I finally decided to make an account to join in on the banter and fun. I guess I'll make this an introductory post as well seeking advice. I've shot with my father ever since I was a kid and we've done a bit of hunting. My 'baby' is currently a Tikka T3 chambered in a 7mm RemMag, which I often shoot at 200 yrds (thats the furthest distance available at the only range in my local area). I love that gun and its great, but my dad got an AI AW.338 about a year and a half back and now I'm looking to get into the long-range precision shooting as well. I have always highly revered the US Armed Forces (as should any American) and I have somehow decided that I want a USMC spec M40A5. Like I said before, I've read some posts on SH beforehand and have learned that when buying an M40A5, the one and only way to go is GAP. Everything else however, I am still unsure of. I want to go with the exact-replica Schmidt and Bender PMII 3-12x 50mm LP, but I don't know if its really worth the hole it will put in my wallet.
I thank he who takes the time to read my entire banter and would really like any advice pertaining to the M40A5 (whether it be about the gun, optic, accessories, etc. - all is welcome and very much appreciated).
