[QUOTE="jgleas114, post: 2976721, member: 128466"] I am a complete novice in the long-range shooting department. I trap, fish, and hunt everything that I can in Louisiana. I have fallen in love with the discipline of bow hunting and want to include long-distance shooting disciplines for hunting purposes. This spark came from a recent hunt at a south Texas ranch where we shot out to 800 yards, not with my hunting rifle. For the past 2 season, my rifle hunts have been with a stock Bergara B-14 ridge in 6.5 Creedmore. Nothing special, but I can shoot a half inch group at 100 yards with the Hornady ELD-X. I am currently running a Meopta Optika 6 2.5x15 44m. I knew nothing about it. Its what the shop sold me. I am looking to customize my rifle and be proficient at 500 yards. I have access to 800+ yard range. I need advice on where to start. I want to purchase quality components without breaking the bank. I am chuckling to myself as I finish typing this sentence. So where do I start? Stock? Trigger? Glass? Supressor? Bipod? I look forward to learning more. Thanks in advance for your help! [/QUOTE]
