FNG From SE Idaho

I've been lurking for a while, and have picked up a lot of useful information from the site already. I hope I can pick up some more.

Welcome from around the corner. Good place to hang out.

Seems like there are quite a few members here in Idaho. I've been a mountain goat all my life, and have shot 90% of my animals 200 yards or less. I recently had an injury that prevents me from hiking, so I am now stuck hunting with a handicapped sticker from a utv.

My dad has a Nosler .270 wsm that the guys at gunwerks worked over. I have used it a few times with really good luck. I figured that until I can (hopefully) recover, I will be hunting from the sidelines. A LR hunting rifle and knowing how to use it is important, and this site seems to have a lot of that information at my fingertips!

I currently own a savage 116 30-06 with a NF SHV 4-14x56mm. I'm shooting factory Hornady superformance 180gr. sst I figure this should have decent accuracy and killing power out to 800 yards. Only practice and the range will tell!
