[QUOTE="Kenster-Boy, post: 74539, member: 2330"] Well you certainly have come to the right place [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]. I am sure that you will find everything you need to know using the search feature. Read it all over once or twice and then ask questions on what you don't understand and you will always find someone to help out. I would agree with what has been said so far! I use a 6.5-20 leupold and wouldn't want to deal with any more power on the low end. I have already missed gimme shots on game because of this. But I still would feel naked without the power to really see detail out at extended ranges. I personally like the "dial it in" method. It just takes the guess work out of it. There isn't any fumbling around with how much to hold over and what mill dot you should use. I hate having too much garbage on the cross hairs. It just makes me sick. But whatever suites your fancy. I would say to start off you need a good solid accurate rifle (a good scope on it of course), a rangefinder, and handload your own ammo. This is the bear essentials. Once you have all that equipment then you will be ready to start practicing.(which trust me will take up the bulk of your time when starting long range hunting) But stick with it and don't give up. It is a very fun, exciting, and EXTREAMLY frustating sport [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] but it just makes the pay offs of a nice shot all that much more appreciated. [/QUOTE]
