[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1916842, member: 12443"] Three things that struck home with me. Long range, getting old, and the 3rd your being from Pa. First off at least in Pa where you will apparently be doing most of your hunting, long range means hunting from a fixed location with large binoculars. Since you already have a gun chambered in a good cartridge, you should consider the binoculars before another gun. By far, the most important item for a long range hunter is his binoculars, and the large tripod mounted ones are a must thing to have. Twin spotters in a bracket are by far the most popular in Pa. Beyond that, and since you will be hunting from fixed locations, consider a heavier gun with a longer barrel, and i wouldnt be ruling out the cartridge you already have. By all means a muzzel brake, and more so for seeing hits than recoil, which a heavier gun will help with also. A custom gun usually means a gunsmith, and fortunately for you there are quite a few very good ones in Pa who also hunt long range and could offer good advise. The good ones are always busy, but the phone calls and questions are free, and might be enlightening for you. As for the age, your never to old to hunt long range Pa style so long as you have good vision and a couple of young companions. [/QUOTE]
