[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 2566963, member: 39547"] For a no frills reliable 500yd rig $1000 A range finder is a must $350 Binoculars $400 Lots of range time and practice You can spend $2000 and do some training use free software on your phone and learn to read the wind. You’ll be infinitely better off than spending 5k plus for set up and no training minimal practice. My first prs type matches were shot with a used rem700p in 308 a fixed 10x leupold with mildot reticle and a **** load of practice. I didn’t win any of those matches but was competitive. I was young and loved beating the high dollar guys. They had plenty of money to throw at the game but didn’t practice like I had. I love the game but changed jobs began working too much overtime to practice like I needed and gave it up. I was glad I hadn’t spent big money on a dust collector that only came out a few times a year. The nut behind the gun makes all the difference. Same as folks buying 4k ar-15 and not doing any practice or training. Most folks are better served with $1000 set up and lots of practice, no substitute for wind reading skill that makes all the difference and can only be learned with trigger time. Bullet drop is dialed it’s easy to confirm drop the wind will make or break you past 300yd. Wind drift of 22lr at 100yd and 308 win at 300yd are really close and excellent cheaper practice. [/QUOTE]
