[QUOTE="huntintales, post: 586337, member: 40061"] Hello, I am newbie to the site and hope I can get a little direction here. I am trying to get information on how to be sucessful at long range shots. I whitetail hunt on open land , mostly clear cut and powelines. I have had opportunities to shoot game at ranges from 400 to 700 yard , but never would take the shot because I just figured the game was out of range. I realize that these shots are not impossible, because I have seen it done on tv. I just dont have any experience at these shot, and am wanting to learn how to chose the right equipment to make these shot. I probably already have the equipment, but Im thiniking I just need to practice these shot. If anyone is willing to reply with some info I would greatly appreciate it. I badly want to become a long range shooter. Ok so here is my gear, which one to use I dont know which is better for the situation. I have a few rifles to choose from; a tikka t3 300wsm, a styer 260rem, and ruger m77-30.06. All with high power scopes Nikon2.5-10x50 and Weaver 4-20x50. I have good binoculars and range finders.
