The Basics, Starting Out
Should I get a long range shooting or hunting gun or try to balance between the two?

[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 3000221, member: 108323"] I'm not a hunter but I'll mention some things that I've picked up as an RSO on a private range. When you mention long range shooting you haven't mentioned what kind of shooting you envision. If it 1000yds in a competition environment that's different than 1 mile and 10 shots in a day. If Long range is packing and camping and hunting elk with 900yd shots that's likely a whole different rifle. If it's Precision LR shooting then its likely a different stock than a hunting stock. Ultimately, I expect you envision the two as being different rifles simply because you asked the question. You are thinking the rifles should be different and therefor only one will be a compromise. It's possible that ultimately you may not be happy with it for either. [/QUOTE]
