[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 444173, member: 3745"] Dustin, Burris makes some rings that are pretty good and not real expensive. Don't really know what to tell you on scopes. I have gone to Night Force scopes on all my long range rifles because I prefer to "dial" rather than use multi line reticles. There are some pretty good Leupold scopes out there that have multi reticles. You will need a multi line reticle scope or one with dial up turrets. Guessing at holdover is simply not a viable way to do long range shooting. Some of the other guys here may have some specific scope models for you to consider. The RCBS Rock Chucker kit is an OK way to go, I and many others started our reloading journey with one of those. Knowing what I know now, I would not buy that though. The press is about the only thing in there you will end up using very long. In my opinion, that kit is perfect for "reloading" but for long range shooting you need to be "handloading". You will eventually end up buying better versions of almost everything in the kit except maybe the press. Tell you what, I just thought that I still have my old rock chucker press (from my kit 25 or 30 years ago) I replaced it with another press a couple of years ago and I will give it to you if you want it. It may be old, but it is still perfect working order. You could use the money you would have spent on the kit to set yourself up with some more precision tools. Just let me know if you want the press and I will have see if I can remember where in the garage that I stashed the thing..... [/QUOTE]
