....or before he knows if he's going to stick with it.

I thought the LR thing would be fun to get into and moved from various Remington 700's to Sako TRG's, replete with the requisite glass on top of them, etc. Then, after years of tossing .308 at distance I tried shooting rimfire out past 400 and sold all the LR centerfire rigs...as well as the uppity glass on them.

An S&B scope is nice....if you plan to stay with the hobby a while. You won't recoup MSRP if you decide to sell it (or any other brand)
