Hi folks,

Just checking in from Western Washington. Just getting back into shooting after a 10 year or so break.

I've done some long range shooting way back in my younger days with a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06. Nothing fancy, just a hunting rifle and military match grade ammo.

Most of my range time is spent on Fort Lewis' Range 15, both pistol and rifle.

I'm thinking of doing a budget build for a long range rifle (600 yards is long range for me now). I'll be basing it on a Remington 700 in 30-06. I know there are better rounds out there, but most of my other rifles are in 30-06 and I'm trying to keep things simple before senility sets in.

I spent 23 years jumping out of what the Air Force calls perfectly good aircraft, for the Army. Retired in 1988 from Fort Lewis, WA. Still live in the area.

My friends call me REE.
