So-I have a guy wanting to trade a 110BA 300WM, 11 boxes of Hornady Custom ammo and a custom cut pelican case for one of my higher end AR's and 500rds of ammo.
Trade value I would be coming out WAAAAY ahead, I already know this. I am not worried about that, and trying to not let it sway my decision

My concern-Newbie to precision/bolt guns. Is this gun going to be too much for me? Is it something I can learn on? Or should I start with something smaller?
Most of the ranges close to me are under 125 yards, but I do have a few within a few hours of me that are 6-800+
