[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2408117, member: 100742"] The sheer enjoyment of the entire process. For me as a Hobby Bench Rest shooter, The long range shooting discipline is so much more fun and exciting. Its also great that Hunting rifles you have had in you safe for decades, ( 270 Weatherby Mag 1979) or (300 Weatherby Mag 1985 ) , can be easily used to hit steel at 1200 yards consistently. The new scopes make it so very easy, even an old guy (73 ) like me can do it!!!! The scope on my Weatherby Mark V sporter is a Leupold VX3 8.5 X to 25 X Windplex on a 30mm tube with a 50 mm Objective lens. I left the same Leupold DD Rings and bases alone . Just pulled of the VX3 4.5X to 145X Hunting scope and put on the target scope. For those of you on the east coast like me, consider the Bang Steel Shooting School, in Viginia. Tell them Lenny sent you!! I can't wait to go back, really fun!!!! [/QUOTE]
