You're going to have to help me out. Not sure what you mean by "a 1 rifle" or "a 1/4 " rifle". I get the grouping stuff. I'm not looking to go 1000yards right away. I'll work up to that. But out of the rifles I picked which one would you recommend to get me started. I'll get a M40A5 or M98B down the road. I guess I need to start small at first and get comfortable with shooting the rifle and its mechanics before I consider going all out. Thanks for relying though ;-)
