[QUOTE="Punisher, post: 992708, member: 76832"] I spend lots of quality time with just one rifle at a time. And then I use that rifle for almost anything and everything. I may shoot for 4 hours, but I will wait long enough in between shots that the barrel is back to ambient temperature. All hunting is done on a cold bore shot, which is rarely in the center of your zero. Long range shooting takes lots of time, equipment and money. Pick your favorite shooting rifle and upgrade the glass. You don't have to go Nightforce right off, but a vortex viper will be good. Some models start for under $400. I use a 6-24x50 vortex viper PST, SFP illuminated with MOAR reticle. It is an awesome entry level long range scope running $750 new. Like some of the other guys said about your sand bags, get a good set and don't look back. In the field, you will probably shoot from a bipod with a rear bag. You will probably end up prefering a leather rear bag. So you might as well just go that way from the start. [/QUOTE]
