I have been dying to get into precision shooting for the last 2 years and I had a $2000 budget, but my insurance company decided to pull a quick one and charge my $1000 for something.
So now I have $1000 for a complete rifle. I know I know, $1000 is nothing compared to some of your guys' setups, but Im just wondering, if I get a 700 SPS tactical for $570, and I could then get the cheapest SWFA SS scope for $300. Would that be a decent beginner setup until I could afford more quality products? But then it would all be riding on the base and rings.
For $100, what rings and base would you recommend?
At this point after having letdown after letdown when trying to get a rifle, i just want something that shoots. I dont care if its 5moa or 1moa. I just want to pull a trigger and send some metal downrange.
Ill greatly appreciate any replies/comments.
Thanks,
Coby
