[QUOTE="sendit208, post: 585550, member: 39842"] Well, I wouldn't say I own one of EVERYTHNG...as much as I'd like to be able to, but over the years I've owned A LOT of everything out there brand-wise anyway. I used to be a true member of the rifle of the month club. Now, I've got my favorites in the safe, but my kids are all getting older and their going off to college has severly put a limit to my addiction. And, yeah, when it comes to this niche role of the dedicated long range rifle stuff, I do need some help. Ive got rifles chambered in long range calibers, but none are what you guys on here are building and shooting. I want one too!! I know the basics of rifle building and what it takes to shoot accurately, past, say, 500 yards, but setting out with a rig and skill set to call that a chip shot is new to me. You know what I mean? I've always abided by the "get closer" rule. My dad would HAVE NEVER let me shoot at anything that far off when he was teaching me how to hunt. Times have changed....He once watched me shoot a deer at about 400,,,after I was an adult...and I still got "the look" from him. LOL. And this was from a guy who shot a 264 Win Mag!! And the rifle I'll be buying for my son will be a birthday present, he's getting a new 870 for xmas. :D And yeah, he's had a rifle in his hands since he was about 4. One of his favorite stories is about how he got "scoped" by my old Sako Forester CHAMBERED IN 222 when he was 3! LOL. Now he's bigger than I am and wanting a 7 mag! He shot a buddies 30-378 a few days ago and, well, lets just say it humbled him a bit.
