[QUOTE="Migz, post: 1158438, member: 40319"] Hey guys, I've been looking around here gathering some info for a while.(what a great site BTW!) I'm looking for some input on my setup. My grandfather left me an almost new CZ 557 ranger rifle in 308, I mounted a vortex viper 3-9x40mm with a bdc reticle and capped resettable turrets. He always shot Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr. and the rifle came with 2 fresh boxes. I've hunted lots and always been interested in LRH a long time but just now am I getting into it! Actually hit my first 500 yard steel(12"x12") on saturday! I have dialling data now for 100, 200, 300,350,400,450,500 yards. My intensions with this rifle is coyotes, whitetails, and maybe the odd moose (only get to go every 5 ish years) I'm fortunate to have a good shooting partner also. I don't want to part with this rifle for sentimental reasons but would look at upgrading it or get different setup and keeping this one as is. here are my questions... is this rifle at its max range? it only has a 20"' barrel. should I upgrade the scope if I intend on reaching out further? if so what scope would you recommend? I also reload but unsure what combination to load? any other tips would be great! should I get a new setup altogether thanks again for all the input! I'm new at this and have lots to learn.
