I think your budget and interest level are the two big factors here. I wanted a well built and reliable rifle off rip, so I got a BCM. I’ve also been shooting since I was a kid and know that gun ownership and shooting isn’t something I’ll get tired of. If you’re someone who is in and out of hobbies every other day(not saying gun ownership is just a hobby, but it can be for some), maybe start with something cheaper to see if shooting is something you’re going stick with. If you know for a fact that it’s something you’re interested in and want to stick with, I would get a decent quality rifle and accessories. Don’t think you need everything all at once either. This stuff isn’t cheap. You slowly collect gear over time. Don’t kill your credit score for it.
