[QUOTE="Snowbird, post: 1554762, member: 87588"] check out "the last stand" it's cheap and uses 1/2" rebar. this is portable enough and holds up reasonably well. stick with ar500 steel. the 1/4" plate mild steels just don't cut it even at longer distances. my 6.5cm made quick work at 900 yards of mild steel. i could have swore i missed two shots in a row. after a long trip back to the target i could see that someone shot a laser beam at it twice with the holes only 2 inches apart. lesson learned. i also prefer larger targets for most shooting (18" @ 1000, 24" to a mile & 12" below 600). as i get more dope i will shrink the targets to close to moa. white with a simple dot works well. i shoot a SFP scope so sometimes i put a 4" painted bar on the target for size reference when not at max magnification.
