Does Starting Somewhat Handicapped Increase Long Term Skill?

Someone bought it, I hope you got it.

Unfortunately missed out.

I have a few options. My local gun shop primarily sells Myopta and Athlon Scopes.
Or I can travel to Melb for the much bigger range at gun emporium.
Both shops sell the Tikka I want for the same price. If I buy local it’d be between the Athlon Argos BTR 6-24 and the Myopta Optika 6 4.5-27.
A little away from my plan for a Strike Eagle, but I can buy either of these in store. Any experience on which is better quality?
