[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1524377, member: 102560"] If your weatherby is accurate, the scope you have is a good one for holdovers. stuff I found useful. 1. A good bi-pod--Harris works good for the sling studs you probobly have on the rifle--and shooting bags (rear bag, an a couple other bags for different situations). 2. Good range finder. Leica 2000, sig 2200 ect...spend around $500 and you get what you pay for. 3. Wind meter I had a cheap 'o I started out with, but helped me get a good idea what 3mph felt like and what 10 mph felt like... 4. Invest in some good steel targets, buy like 5 or 6 and buy them big enough not to get frustrated, I have 10" and 12" gongs with one 18"x24" plate. 5. A good mat to lay out on, I use a old napping mat that my kids had. 6. Get into reloading if your not. 7. Invest in a class I have done [URL]http://ftwsaam.com/SAAMTraining.aspx?id=prcsn[/URL] I have done SAAM precision prep [URL]http://badlandstactical.org/[/URL] And the badlands course Each were very good with different feels...I would do them both again in a heartbeat. 8. Get somewhere and ask a bunch of questions (this is a great place-ton of experience floating around) I shoot with a group--and have learned a ton from the 3 guys I shoot with by spotting and discussing their shots. Enjoy..I have been LR shooting now going on 10 years--I have changed my equipment probably 5 times--or I should say refined what I liked... Ed [/QUOTE]
