My First Long Range Set Up

[17Fireball]

​

I've always longed to get a good scope and gun for long range shooting. The money was the problem. At 45, I finally pulled the trigger so to speak and purchased a Savage LRP .260 Rem. and a Nightforce ATACR scope.

Very happy with the gun and scope. Gun is very accurate. Scope is powerful and clear, only issue is it tunnels a bit. Probably will be my one and only long range set up and I am grateful to have it. Shooting 140 grain AMAX, Varget (most accurate in ladder testing), Laupa brass, etc.

Oh what a beautiful feeling as I sat out last night shooting Pennsylvania Groundhogs from 160 to 525 yards. Very, very, happy guy to finally be able to do it. Oh, what a feeling.

WTG! Looks like you have an excellent start/rig ... the bottom line is you're very pleased with your decision.

Enjoy and happy safe hunting/shooting.

Congratulations! Sounds like a nice setup. I always wanted a .260 myself. You have any pictures?

Congratulations on your new setup. I built a 260 remington last year. I also found the 140 Amax to be very accurate, but I use H4350.

Awesome, congrats! Sounds like you've got a real shooter. 260 Rem is a really cool cartridge too. Post some pics if you have time!
