I remember the first time I shot 1,000yds on the range with an old Rem 700 Varmint in 308 wearing a 4-12x scope. I think back then, the whole package was valued about $500. Then we used M1A's, other bolt guns, a Winchester 70 Palma stocked 308, and since those old days, many more rifles. Many of those were under $1,000 and some were factory with minor smithing, good load development and a "decent" glass. Too many people think they must have a multi-thousand dollar rifle, similar priced scope, expensive range finders, all the latest amenities, etc, etc to begin shooting LR/ELR. Heck, too many of us were doing it decades ago with rather inexpensive and old school tech and didn't know we weren't supposed to. A little formal training or joining a shooting club goes a long ways.</blockquote>
