[QUOTE="d11r529, post: 912201, member: 26177"] You didn't say what kind of scopes you are using. Don't let anybody tell you that you need to have a special rifle to shoot long range, helps but what you have will work just fine to get started. My Remington 700 CDL's in 243 and 300 win mag with Leupold 4-14X M1 dials will consistently ring a 12 inch plate at 840 yards. My Remington Sendero in 270 with a Leupold 6.5-20X will put some impressive groups on that same plate. For starters I would suggest - a good scope with dials, start reloading and a good rangefinder in whatever order you want to put them. Down the road you will probably want to get a different cal better suited to long range but start with what you have. As your just starting out, be careful not to over heat your barrel. [/QUOTE]
