... The one thing I would tell you that I'm very certain of when it comes to equipment is "keep it as simple as possible."
Simple trigger designs, scopes (as in fixed powers) and gun designs that have proven themselves reliable over
decades of hard use: way more important than accuracy.
Military designs like M98 and Lee-Enfield proved themselves very much in that manner, long before any custom gunsmith
got their hands on them trying to make a buck out of selling candy shop 'pimprovements' on them, none of which really
make a rifle bomb proof, if anything they can compromise reliable function.
