tax season is almost here... you will be my GURU... I did some research and I do like Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 creedmoor.. but if you can recommend something specific in guns , caliber and optics , I am all ears

Make sure you consider the ammo costs of thousands of rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor vs other calibers like 308. It doesn't matter how great the caliber is if you can't afford to feed it.

Check with Dahlonega Gun and Pawn, you can order the rifle at cost through them. Can't get cheaper than that.

I've always heard 1x per 100 yards, more won't hurt but I wouldn't sacrifice quality of glass for higher mag. I've always heard the SWFA 10x fixed power is a good place to start. https://www.swfa.com/swfa-ss-10x42-tactical-30mm-riflescope-3.html
