Hey fellas,
I am looking into starting long range shooting (300-800 meters), and I want to go with 6.5 CM.
I am wondering if it is worth it in the long run to buy a rifle for a few hundred dollars more. For instance if I am looking at the $1,000-$1,400 range, but I know I don't want to have to buy a whole new rifle anytime soon. Should I just push closer to spending $2,000 and get something a little better? Would that make much of a difference anyway? And what about rifles under $1,000? Would it be better to just save some money and get a $700 one?
I know not to cheap out on the scope; I plan on getting a good one. I'm basically just curious to know how much of a difference a few hundred or maybe a thousand dollar difference makes in the rifle.
Thanks for the help.
