    That would get you started, scope is the first thing I'd replace. If its really worth $300, ask them for $250 off the price and buy a second hand Leupold...

    Knew someone would pipe up with that sooner than later.
    308 would be a good choice as reasonably large bullet travelling at reasonably good speed and doesn't come with funny ponsonby coffe
