I respectfully disagree about better equipment, even for new shooters. Go back and look at Taliv’s post about very young, new to the sport shooters getting consistent hits at 600 yards.Going from decent quality factor to high dollar custom will have very little impact on a new shooters ability to learn the fundamentals IMHO. For that mater the best thing to learn the fundamentals on IMHO is a 22LR at relatively close range. You can learn the fundamentals of sight picture, trigger control, and all the various shooting positions and do with with minimal investment in hardware.
I have an extremely accurate .22 CZ 453 with higher end Leupold VX3 4-14. It has a single set trigger that is extremely crisp and breaks well under a pound when set. I had multiple kids in the 8 to 12 y.o. range getting nearly 100% hits on a 2” steel at 100 yards off a very steady bench and good rests and bags.
