[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 550436, member: 24624"] 600-1000 yds is not a problem for a 30-06. If you can shoot under an inch at 100yds, that's a good start for something you can have fun with. Many factory built Savages easily shoot that well. But, there can be a big difference between models and individual rifles from any manufacturer. Once you get past 400-500 yds, you're likely going to need handloads to achieve consistent results. But, that shouldn't slow you down from giving it a try just for fun. There are a lot of options for decent scopes that would be suitable for someone starting out. The Nikon 6-18x42 is one that I like for the money. But, there's a whole discussion group in this forum with recommendations. The requirements for hunting and competition at long range are more stringent. But, you have to start somewhere. Caution: It's addictive. Have fun and be safe! Richard [/QUOTE]
