[QUOTE="Kerry Knudsen, post: 2895, member: 833"] Greetings. This is my first day logged in, but I've been lurking for a week or two. Very interested to learn. My current set-up is a Browning A-Bolt Stalker chambered for a .338 Win. Mag. and it has a composite stock and a Leupold VariX III, 3.5X10X50. After reading, I realize this may not be an optimum set-up, but then, I didn't really think much about shooting over 500 meters. Now that I've been watching for a while, I'd be more interested in knowing what I can expect from my gun than how much I can spend getting a better outfit. Wife would not want to hear it. That Leupold was not cheap. FWIW, recoil doesn't seem to bother me. I had a Pachmyer decellerator installed right after I bought the gun. I can currently keep the holes in the 10-spot at 200 meters, which is the extent of our shooting range. I am also ready to start leaning to reload, having just bought a kit from RCBS. All comments appreciated. kk [/QUOTE]
