Hello all

I found you all on a search for long range shooting. I am interested in learning about this intriguing new world I am stepping into.

I live in the Sacramento area. I teach high school music...vocal jazz, AP Music Theory, Piano.

I got this weird idea that I should actually learn to shoot long distance. I was in the army and kinda had a knack for rifle firing. I put 9 shots in the same hole from 50 yards with open sights. Went to the Marine Corp Educator week and dropped 10 inside a dime 1cm left of center mass at 250 yards (30+ years later :) ).

So I started on CalGuns...meeting Kappy and JMP and am starting my first build. I purchased a Remington 700 with the varmint 26" barrel.

I am looking at a new stock and having a tough time deciding. Don't have a ton of $$ (high school teacher). https://www.stockysstocks.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=bell+carlson is where I am looking.

Working on the glass but SO much information...OH MY GOODNESS so much information...

Here is what I am looking at...

Anyway I will lurk a bit and then, hopefully, learn a whole bunch. Thank you for letting me hang with y'all.
