Thank you for the insight! I know its alot of money, This is a hobby i've been wanting to get into for awhile, combined with lack of specific technical knowledge i'm aiming for a bit on the higher end of things if possible, while still keeping to what my budget will allow, with the desire that I will have something that will be a good experience right from day 1 and also be durable enough to last me several years without any sort of regret or desire to immediately go out and buy the next thing up. I also fully admit i'm likely not knowledgeable enough yet of the reputable online retailers, or retailers in my state, to know where to go for cheaper, so my total i'm hoping will go down a bit once i've done more research.

I've added the Seekins PM rings and hellfire brake to my shopping list. in regards to the Seekins PM rings, there seems to be 6 different options on https://seekinsprecision.com/scope-rings-30mm-tube.htmli'm curious how would I know which one to get? I am guessing this is just height of where the scope sits in relationship to the rifle. but i'm not quite sure what I should be looking for in regards to this.

As for the Custom rifle, how does that work? I didn't know that even was a thing, are there reputable companies out there that make custom rifles?

I also added both the scopes you mentioned to my list of items to consider and do more research on. as for the mention of "From LA" specifically for the Razor III, I am going to show my noobishness once more and ask what you mean by "LA" are you referring to "Los Angeles" or is there an online retailer with "LA" as its abbreviation. if so, could you please give me the long form please. the few minutes of looking while adding the Razor III to my spreadsheet found the cheapest to be on amazon for 3,000 USD here: https://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Optics-Razor-First-Riflescopes/dp/B09PNS6WKN?th=1&psc=1
