[QUOTE="Kiowa Cowboy, post: 2948260, member: 127211"] I am by no means an expert on LR shooting. I took a class offered by Badlands Tactical in SWOK. The class was excellent! As far as equipment the 7mm rem mag will be fine. Part of success is maintaining good mechanics. Lower recoiling rifles make it easier to maintain good mechanics. With a break or suppressor on a 7mm you will probably be fine. A good spotter is very helpful. With an average scope you will not be able to see your hits, so that is why the spotter is needed. Plus without a spotter, you can waste a lot of ammo guessing. If you are just learning to have fun and become a better shooter, which is why I did it, I would not spend a lot of money on additional equipment. If you are serious about competing, then I will let others weigh in as I have never competed in s LR course. I shot the class with a 308 using Federal Gold Medal Match ammo 168 grain. The scope was 3x15 and over 15 years old. Nothing new or fancy. It was first focal though. I am just a hunter, but I had no problem hitting targets out to 1,000 yds. I would like to go back and learn how to read the wind better. Long-range shooting is addictive and it is a lot of fun. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
