I don’t hunt it’s mostly for… Target… practice 🙃

    Scopes are expensive. Good news is if you make a good buy you probably won’t have to buy another for a long long time. Vortex is decent for the price.

    Get a good scope mount too. The best scope can’t perform if the mount isn’t solid.

    Bipod, sandbags, hunting tripod, something to keep the rifle nice and steady

    After a while you’ll want to try different types of ammo to see what the rifle shoots best.

    But most importantly and most overlooked, all rifles are trash if YOU are trash at long range marksmanship. Read up. Put your rifle parts together correctly and learn as much as you can on and off the range

    I don’t know the availability/pricing of stuff up there, but Vortex scopes are usually an economic balance of price and performance.

    You might consider a bipod, but this adds frontal weight and might not be useful in all scenarios. Learn to shoot off of bags, rocks, trees, etc.

    Also, while the themed paint job is cool, I might recommend that you paint it in more earthy colors that match where you live. You know, so the paper targets don’t see you.

    I disagree with the other commenter, keep the paint job, to strike fear into the hearts of the paper targets.

    Also, classic look for the rifle in the unmade bed 👍
