[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 231687, member: 4683"] Britz is right .. Welcome Justin ! Do you own a centerfire rifle now? Many people think -'well all i have is this old 30-06/243 ' -can't do much with an old outdated rifle like this. When in reality they have a longrange rifle sitting there and don't realize it. If you have a rifle -look into the seemingly never ending amount of equipment [rangefinder ,reliable tracking scope ,longrange rings and bases ,precision reloading equipment and numerous powder and bullet types quality brass ,bipod/rear bag etc.] it takes to get going with longrange hunting. I have a friend who decided he wanted to get into longrange hunting -he had a 270win that he 'thought' didn't shoot good enough. After giving it -its first real barrel cleaning and explaining why you need to clean the barrel correctly -he seemed overwhelmed by all the little do-dads it took to clean his barrel. Anyway after floating the barrel -adjusting his trigger -doing a little load developement w/him he could hit a 10" steel plate at 500yds and was happy as a lark. Good luck -Mike [/QUOTE]
