Buy a Hammerli 208 or S&W 41. If you're not good before those guns "wear out" you never will be. The best gun has less alibi's and at 50 yds. can make a little better score. No matter what, you still need to practice.
Practice with the best is better then practice with the worst and far less frustrating. And there are some of us (like myself) that have the best, practice, and still can't shoot well one handed at that darn little target.
I totally agree that practice is more important than equipment but you do need good enough equipment to show that you are improving. I think a Ruger or Browning .22 LR with a trigger job can start you off in Bullseye but the centerfire gun needs to be better than cheap out of the box. My first .45 would not hold the 7 ring at 50 yards. I never knew if I couldn't shoot or if the gun missed. Once I got a Bullseye .45, I knew when I messed up because the gun did its job every time. Now, it is time to practice -- bunches. So my perspective says a cheap .22 to learn on but a good .45 to continue the education. I don't think the education is ever complete.
Like most bang for the buck!
