[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2884228, member: 126985"] Making one happy, has nothing to do with being an accomplished LR shooter, or proficient at any endevor. It's lots of intense, dedicated, practice, hard work, and expense, are required to become proficient and accomplished, ...at most anything. If you are not practicing with the rifle and ammo you're going to use in competition or LR hunting, you are a novice, ...just having fun. And 1000 yds is considered moderate range by many, 800 yds anyone can do, with practice... and stretching the range, and competition to 2 miles, on steel. A 308 if properly set up for targets, steel, and varmints is good way past 1000 yds with modern components, and 20 yr old girls were shooting 308s at 1000 yds & winning in competition, 25 yrs ago, about the time Tubb was on top, & looking for something with less recoil.
