[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 315129, member: 11717"] I have the very same rifle and have shot some sub MOA groups out of it. Haven't really wrung it out yet. It's a Howa built rifle and Howa makes good rifles. There's a good chance you have a good shooter. If you want to do LRH, as in 600 yds plus, you will need to start reloading. If you buy that F-class rifle you wont get max performance with factory lods. You might find a good factory load for your rifle, but not likely 1/2 MOA or less. So if you find a good factory load for your M1500 you might have a 500 yd plus outfit, which might be enough to decide if you like LR. I would say wring out your M1500 first. It might be a tack driver, but dont expect much less then sub MOA with factory ammo. A Bushnell 4200 should be a good scope for it as well as some others mentioned, but you can get the 4200 with target turrets for a good price. Hope this helps and good shooting, -MR [/QUOTE]
