Yes I could no doubt find the $$$ to put $10k combined into rifle and optics, and I'm not for a minute knocking those who do. Its just not me. Apart from doubting I would be good enough to maximize the value of that sort of expenditure, there are other calls on the $$$ in my world that are far more worthy and justifiable. Further, I get a lot of pleasure from getting a little to go a long way. Someone looking at my collection could justifiably observe I could flog the lot off and use the proceeds to buy one or two really high end combos. But where would the pleasure be in that? Some, but again, not really where I'm at.

So it's great to hear there are plenty of others "getting by" with less spendy gear. Not that that has ever really been in doubt. I still love to hear about the high end and fondle it with my eyes when I get the chance. I like it even more when my $800 rig gets a bit better group at the range than the guy next to me sporting $8k worth of shiny kit, lol. Then, occasionally I watch in awe as a bloke tack-drives a target with that class of kit in a display I could never match. Different boats, different floats.
