I see. Sounds like more than I could do myself unless I had machinery and tools for it, unless I were to use a local machine shop or something which in my area wouldn't really work well.
>The issue is that to get them to top notch DMR levels you need to do work on them, or buy a National Match or a Super Match.
those appear to be more expensive and also weigh upwards of 12lbs.
>you can get one already rip roaring ready for precision shooting for that price
so I may be better off getting a model I'd like, shooting with it, and then putting money towards having a shop modify it? that seems more reasonable.

It seems to me that in the short term I would be best served by getting an air rifle for which ammunition is very cheap, and just practicing a whole lot with it.
Would anyone happen to have any recommendations for me regarding air rifles? I want something simply to practice with, not hunt or anything. It would be nice to get a takedown model. Would my best bet be to just go to the sporting goods store and get what seems good, or should I be doing more research?
Also, would getting an air pistol serve me well in terms of practice? would it translate much to rifle use?
