If this has been discussed I haven't found it so I apologize in advance.
It is my belief, correct me if I am wrong, that we have rifles and scopes available today at fairly low price points that provide as good or better performance compared to mid to somewhat higher priced examples from 30, 40 or 50 years ago. I was wondering what people thought is the cheapest (least expensive) available combination of rifle and scope that would be likely to provide consistent sub moa accuracy. Suggestions or speculation should be based on experience or at least a pretty consistent reputation.
It would also be nice if the rifle had aftermarket support for potential upgrades later. But initially the accuracy should be there out of the box.
I realize if you're looking for the ultimate precision in any kind of shooting sport you will need to spend money. But for those folks without a lot of disposable finances what is the least expensive way to get into precision shooting, mostly bench or target shooting out to 300-500 yards? It would seem that something chambered in 223 would contribute to keeping the shooting costs down as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
