Gun and gear reviews First Rifle

Thinking of pairing the T3X CTR .308 ($1500) w/ a Vortex Venom 3-15x44 FFP, 34mm scope ($700) + low Vortex Pro series scope rings ($120) as my first rifle.

Reading that the T3X is pretty solid and should last, whereas the venom is an entry level scope (crazy for $700). But for the very casual plinker I though it'd suffice to get me, and keep me, into it. Any thoughts before I commit?

that's basically what i did. tikka t3x arctic, with a leupold 4-14x50.

it really depends on how far out your shooting, and do you plan on hunting?
