[QUOTE="goebs66, post: 1091351, member: 90641"] First off, before someone says to use the search button or whatever, I have read a lot of stuff on this site and many others, I am purely doing this for a 2nd opinion on what equipment/lesser known items that have helped you guys and are lesser known but crucial (like a torque wrench for example)!! A brief background of myself, I have a few shotguns, 22LRs, 22-250, AK, and SKS. My new Sako 85 hunter comes in Saturday as my first LR rifle. I most hunt Illinois/Iowa so no hiking is involved, and I will mostly be doing LR shooting and hunting coyotes 300+ yards to hopefully 800-900 with my 7mm rem mag. I wanted to know if you guys could give me an equipment check (as this is my first true Long Range Setup) and anything I may be missing out and that helps you guys!
