[QUOTE="Too Much Fun, post: 2739138, member: 15363"] I got into long range shooting/hunting in 2006. As it happens, there was a guy, that lives nearby, who builds guns and teaches classes, on just about everything you you'd need to know on the topic. I can't express how valuable that education was, right out of the gate! There are many combinations of calibers, and optics that will do the job, out to 800 yards. However, if you have talent, and a willingness to learn; I'd say step up your game! Don't limit yourself...when the option presents itself! The .338 RUM, or .338 Edge, will put a 300gr bullet down range with enough velocity, and energy, to establish dominance! The rest is up to you. Whatever you choose...put in the time; practice in all conditions and with every conceivable scenario. Never, ever, be ashamed to pass on a shot that you're not comfortable with. Also, be sure you can recover the game. A half-mile is a lot of real-estate. One last suggestion; buy premium optics!! Can't stress that enough. NightForce, or something equivalent. Good hunting 👍 [/QUOTE]
