Shooting fundamental first. Squared up behind the rifle, breath control, trigger press= spotting your impacts every time. Then a quality stock, barrel and trigger. Finally, knowing how to develop a quality load with a good/ consistent handloading process.
If you have to ask or if it's too good to be true, SCAM. These scammers are everywhere. One reached out to me on IG, said they had four 8lb jugs of RL26 for $185 each. Credit card machine was broken, just send via PP F&F. Hmmm. 👌
I have two 5-5x25x56 ATACR MOART SFP scopes that I picked up on a different forum for less than 2k each. They pop up pretty often. Keep looking and you'll find one.
I use one and love it. The velcro isn't loud at all. I ended up using my dope card stuck to the outside for a mule deer buck this year at 460 yards, on the move and right at dark. I didn't have time to break out the kestrel. Saved the day!
