The budget is just a hair thin to get what you need buying new. I just got the RPR in 6.5, and added a Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24x50mm That optic can be had for $860 if you shop well. Throw in a decent mount and you have a super nice set-up right out of the box. I am also new to long range so I started at 100 yrds and practiced until I was putting bullets through the same hole consistently. Now I have moved up to 200 yrds and am getting close to that result. Just going to take my time and move up in distance. The nice thing about the Ruger is the trigger is very good, and I like the adj. stock, although it gets mixed reviews. Point is for $1400 +\- it needs no modification , just a lot of expensive ammo to eat.
