Budget for the Rifle only is around $3k, Optics only around $500 and what ever for mounts.

So you've got $3500+ for a rifle and optics.

Spend $1800 on a NEA and then you have $1700 budget for a scope and mount.

Spending more than $500 will give you a lot more options. Good glass makes a difference.

You can easily get a good 1-4 or 1-6 for under $1k. An ADM QD mount is $200. Lots of change for ammo or a trigger swap.
