I have zero shooting experience in the last decade and precious little before that.
Shooting airguns seems like fun but just shooting targets from a bench at a range seems like it could get old after a while.
Then I learned about NRL22 and that seemed like it would be a lot of fun.
I am looking to get any advice from anyone who has experience.
My thinking is that to get started I will compete in the NRL22 Base division.
I am not looking to win anything. I want to develop my skills and have fun.
That means my rifle + scope have to have a combined MRSP under $1300.
If I really like this after a year or so, I may choose to move up to another division and a more expensive setup.
I live in San Diego, CA.
I would like to get a PCP rifle. My current thinking is to get a Benjamin Marauder Regulated in .22 caliber.
I am not sure if the Lothar Walther barrel upgrade makes a difference. I also am not sure whether to go with a synthetic or wood stock.
The rifle lists for about $782. Are there better options in this price range?
I have not really begun to select a scope. This would leave me with about $520 MSRP budget for a scope.
Any scope recommendations in this approximate range would be welcome.
I plan to also get a 100 cu ft air tank that I will get filled when needed at a local dive shop.
I guess I will also need a case, ammo, a rest/bag, hearing and eye protection, bipod, and extra magazines.
I am aiming to get everything I need for about $2500, but I have some flexibility.
I am hoping to get gear that is decently accurate, and won't constantly break down.
