[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 1524274, member: 108138"] Like the title says, I’m wanting to get into long range hunting, but I don’t have a ton of cash to drop into a new hobby. What I do have is a Japanese made Weatherby Mark V lazermark chameberd in 7mm Weatherby Magnum. It is completely stock, outfitted with a Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15x42 scope with the z800 ballistic reticle. I also have a place on my land that I can stretch out and shoot out to 2000 yards. What I really want is a gun that is capable of taking elk out 1000 yards, but also capable of hitting steel out to 2000. Is my weatherby going to get me there? If so, what work will need to be done with it? If not, point me in the right direction. I’ve been researching different rifles and calibers for days, and that’s just left my head spinning. Currently, I don’t reload but I’m in the process of buying the equipment I need to get started doing that. Oh, one other thing, if my current setup won’t help me reach my goals, and I do need to go in a different direction, I’m kind of old school. I don’t like the tactical looking guns or the composite stocks. I like the wood stocks and traditional looking guns. With all that being said, what is y’alls advice? [/QUOTE]
