[QUOTE="HunterMann, post: 2871830, member: 117098"] I can shoot P-dogs out to 450 yards with my "slightly" above average AR and good ammo, but I don't think it is the best platform. But it is really fun especially with can on it to moderate the noise. Just starting out, I would recommend getting an accurate, modestly priced rifle from Savage or Tikka in 223. Then get a really decent scope. The PD fun begins beyond 250 yards and that is about where cheap scopes start to fade away. Spend as much or even more than you spent for the rifle on good glass. It will really improve your accuracy. Test a bunch of ammo and stock up on what you feel is the most accurate in your rig. You are going need a shooting table, seat, spotting scope, rifle rest, and enough shooting bags to support you and the rifle. You can't shoot well if you are not stable and comfortable. Go on your PD safari with at least one buddy so you can spot for each other every 25 shots or so. That's the fastest way for both of you to learn about shooting P-dogs. From this basic start you can grow in any direction. [/QUOTE]
