Call me crazy...Been hiding $ from my wife for a while and have managed to come up with 2 thousand dollars. Got a decent 20'' barrel, good trigger on the CMMG lower and a good digital scope with BC Cal./phone software...etc. Will also use a suppressor. Goal is to hit a silhouette (standard size) at 1000 yrds. in day and night conditions. Looking for: a decent used portable weather device and precision rifle sled (A Ransom Rest?) Hornady has been helping me out with the ballistics of their new 62g ARC round. Anyone out there have above mentioned for sale? Also, does anyone out there have ANY advice? I am a semi-good shot but this is the first time I am trying to reach distance with such a small, fast round.

I don't know about the ARC BUT there are plenty of .224 AR style rifles that can shoot 1K with 77, 80, 85.5 gr bullets. Check with Nez "Bamban" hereon LRH. He has built many .223 ARs for competition. He is a wealth of knowledge!!!!!!!!
