    A-rule of thumb is that the Scope can be the same cost as the rifle.
    I would go for the Leupold VX-1 3-9x40 and try to economise on the gun.

    Good mounts are also essential so budget $100-200 for some. Leupold.

    Best value for a gun will beif you can, get a Secondhand one with Suppressor on it already. Check that the suppressor was'bought and fitted to that gun not an old spare that was lying arroUnd.

    To get beTter value on the gun see ifyou can get cleaning gear like a rod pull thru oil etc and some ammo thrown in or for a Small price extra You'll need to buy them anyway..

    stick to your budget we're not all made of money. Some people on this forum are real enthusiasts. would rather shoot than eat
