Use the Garand. Shoot in as many matches as you can. Get hooked.

Then, scrape together the bucks to get a competition upper from White Oak Precision (now selling under White Oak Armaments). They're put together by John Holliger and some of the best available... and they're in Illinois. Mate that with the lower of your choice and a decent trigger and you're set.

Oh yeah, then you'll need/want the spotting scope, stand, Ray-Vin sight blacker, shooting coat, matt, cart, stool, glove, Les-Tam sling, reloading equipment, match-grade reloading components, ballistics software, 20 rd magazines, enough land to set up your very own 600 yard range, etc...

Yup... shoot a few for fun. Then it starts getting almost as expensive as golf.

BTW, not selling guns is VERY wise.
