   Buy a .223 with a dialing scope fitted - much cheaper to feed to get the practice in dialing and reading wind etc. Then get something longer legged that fits the same operating profile as the .223...

    The guys just love threads like this. At least you haven't said you want to do it all for under $5000. In reality, you will spend a lot on ammunition and travel to sparrowhawk and the like to do...
