[QUOTE="DakotaGlockGuy, post: 913803, member: 59926"] Guys, Thanks for the great advice. I had never thought of it, but a fixed 10 or 12x (leaning more towards the 12) would probably be plenty good for what I'm looking to use it for. Here's what I'm struggling with though: While I understand the benefit of not going crazy with equipment, I am not afraid to pay for quality, especially if it will save me money in the long run(ie: buying a cheaper gun, then selling it at a loss to buy the gun I really wanted in the first place.) and allow me to grow into the gun vs. out grow it. I used to play a lot of pool and when I bought my first really nice case, the guy recommended I get a 2x4 (2 butt, 4 shaft) case instead of the 1x2 I was looking at. I told him I only had the one cue. He said, "You do now, but this will allow you to add another down the road without buying another case since you can put one cue in a 2x4, but you can't put 2 cues in a 1x2!" Well I didn't want to spend the extra money, so I got the small case and regretted it later on! That said these last two options are more of a way to better spend money than just trying to build this as cheaply as possible. I would still start out with a great stock/action/trigger and probably even scope, then have the ability to swap out the barrel if and when that ever holds me back or I fall in love with this and want to go big on my next build. Seriously you guys and this forum are [U]HANDS DOWN[/U] the best I've ever ran across, and I'm so thankful you are taking some of your valuable time to share your wisdom and experience with me! THANK YOU ALL!!! [/QUOTE]
