[QUOTE="tailbon3, post: 1006712, member: 19810"] Here's an opinion from a long-range-shooter-wannabe Be brutally honest with yourself right now. Long range shooting/reloading (500 to 1000 yards) is easily as expensive and time consuming as golf. Do you have lots of free time? Do you have lots of cash? If so, buy the really good stuff upfront. Why? Because you'll wind up buying it all over again if you are serious about 1k shooting. Even if you already have your rifle, this is a really good read [url=http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/long-range-rig.php]Long Range Hunting Rifle On A Budget[/url] If you don't have lots of free time and money, go for 300 yards. Its really tough to shoot farther than 300 yards with a cheap scope. Here's what I use, and I really doubt I would get 1k accuracy from this setup.
