Finally joined the forum today. I am new to the board and to long range shooting, so please bear with my ignorance...I am here to learn and ask questions.
I purchased a Remington Sendero SF2 (300 Ultra Mag) along with a Leupold VX3 4.5-14 x 50. Put M1 Windage and Elevation Turrets and swapped the reticle on it with a Leupold Dot. The purpose for the purchase of the gun and scope is that it will serve as a good all-round hunting rifle for big game hunting. Figure on shooting 200g SMK or 200g Accubonds.
I havent purchased rings/bases yet because my goal is to make sure the gun can get out to 1000 yards if needed. My 2 questions are:
1. Can this gun get out to 1000 yards with the scope that I purchased?
2. In order to get out to 1000 yards, should I consider a 20MOA base or just go with standard rings and bases?
Please advise your thoughts and opinions.
Thanks,
E
