[QUOTE="want2shoot, post: 262563, member: 15776"] I've been reading this site quite a bit lately trying to gain knowledge in long range shooting. So, I've been putting together a rifle for long range deer, antelope, and possibly other big game. I also would have fun shooting at long ranges (1000 yds at targets). I've got a Remington Sendero SF ii in a 300 RUM topped with a Leupold VX-III 4.5 - 14 x 50 LR with Boone and Crocket reticle. With a Harris Bipod. So far it looks good, but I haven't shot it!!! I'm second guessing my scope choice after doing some reading on this site. Do I want a good "hunting" rifle that is SOMEWHAT accurate out to 600 yds or do I throw on a nightforce NXS 5.5 - 22 x 50 and have a great first time Long range target rifle? Is there a way to set this up so it will work good for target and hunting? Was thinking of different turrets for my leupold or BDC turrets. I know I have a thousand questions, but I just want to do this right the first time around. I could really use some guidance from someone who knows more about this stuff. Thank you in advance, Kevin [/QUOTE]
