Hi Cameron,
I would NOT buy that scope, you will just end up heading down the pain slope.
Take a look at my post
here for a beginner's package which covers all the bits I think a beginner needs to get going.
You can always substitute brands and used for new, but the whole idea is to show a beginner what they can expect to pay for all the bits they will need sooner or later.
Going to a club night (if you have any around you) and looking through some members scopes will help you see what each one can do and which scope is right for you.
I hope this is of help...
Cheers
Chris
