I finally scored a used LV 6PPC Panda rifle thanks to a lot of folks on this forum. I plan to try to learn to shoot as it is, but ultimately I want a 13.5 lb rifle. The rifle with rings but no scope weighs an even 9 lb. It has a weight system for the butt (not included in the 9 lb weight) and a 21.5" bbl. So I have a 4 lb 8 oz budget for a scope and (maybe) a heavier/longer barrel. Do I get a big variable scope or a HV contour barrel or maybe both? How long a barrel is too long for top accuracy? Thanks for your help.
