I have had an interest in long range shooting and hunting since a friend introduced me to it a couple of year ago. I always thought that shooting past 200yds would be way out of me league until I tried it.
Being in NW Indiana (Flatland Central) and having quite a bit of access to the crop fields for predator hunting, I realized that I have a lot of areas available for long range shooting.
Anyways, here is the first long range shooting set up that I have made. No understand, I am new to this sport so long range for me is probably warm up for most of you guys but one day I will achieve the 1000yd mark... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
My fiend shooting my Encore 22-250 at the 400yd mark (you can faintly see the pink plates in that distance)....
A shot group from the 22-250 at the 400yd mark..
I am going to have a 7mm-08 barrel from match grade machine made in the near future for better accuracy but the 22-250 factory barrel did pretty good....
