[QUOTE="1187Shooter, post: 1263067, member: 98522"] Hello from the Deep South... I've only recently become interested in long range hunting/shooting, as well as reloading. I've always been an up close and personal type of hunter, and my primary rifles have been 30-30s for years. A few weeks ago I decided during a mixed hunt in Texas that I want to start working on gaining the ability to take game a little farther out. I was presented with some potential shots at 3-500 yards, that even with the 30-06 were too far due to the little 1-4 power scope I was using. Right now I'm shooting an old Ruger m77 30-06 but am going to be picking up a 270 WSM soon, a friend conveniently has decided its too much rifle for his needs. Its also a Ruger, a Mk2 with a short 22" barrel. I'm reading up on all the ins and outs of long range shooting, and learning what I can. Its going to come in handy next year, as I'm moving back out west where I'll be exposed to many more opportunities for longer shots than I've been used to. [/QUOTE]
