[QUOTE="barleydog, post: 1524513, member: 107920"] I know...most of ya are old timers....have shot past a thou....and have the 6000 dollar rigs and on and on...but most people get the wrong impression from people like you... long range hunting and shooting isn't about distance alone...it is about maxing out the equipment you have....amiright? I am no long range shooter by any means....I shoot my guns as far as I can and am currently trying to get the load development to the point that when I miss I know it is me and not my reloading skills. what is long range shooting and hunting with a pellet gun? a .22? a 3030? what is long range hunting shooting off hand? is it the same as shooting prone from a freshly grazed knoll down onto antelope 1000 yards away? the only reason I bring this up is that lots of people seem to ask question about getting into long range shooting and hunting...they in turn receive advice to go out and spend their childrens college fund on a rifle, glass and range finder.. when they cant max out the m1 garand they got in the closet... so...if yer young, broke and looking for advice to become a crack shot....I have the perfect advice... SHOOT WHAT YOU HAVE....UNTIL YOU OUT SHOOT IT. IF YA DONT HAVE A RIFLE RIGHT NOW...GO OUT AND GET YOU A CHEAP SAVAGE 308....WITH AN ACCUTRIGGER....SLAP ON A SWFA SS FIXED POWER SCOPE AND MAX THAT PUPPY OUT.. TAKE THE REMAINDER OF THE MONEY YOU HAVE AND BUY THE RCBS ROCK CHUCKER PRESS AND DIES....GET SOME POWDER AND START RELOADING... shooting long range and reloading go hand in hand...seriously...you cant really do one without the other...not on any kind of budget... learn the skills...watch the tibosaurausrex sniper 101 videos on the youtube… develop skills...reading the wind... as you outrun yer equipment...upgrade it. spending 1500 bucks on a tikka 6.5 creed and a vortex scope will surely get you where you want to go.....without any education what so ever.... getting the 308 will get you there as well and make a rifleman out of ya.
