[QUOTE="mtshtr, post: 2749751, member: 126152"] Hello, Been shooting a lot, but always within 500 yards. Do pretty well there at those ranges with cheap scopes and guns. But I want to start trying further. I have an old semi auto hunting gun in 30-06 but it's not known for accuracy. So I came up with this plan, take my very first rifle I bought when I turned 18 and rebarrel it to something more useful. I never shoot it anymore, after many decades (90s). Savage 110 in 223 but it's a long action. So, I ordered a 7mm prc shilen prefit, small shank, 26" heavy palma contour for it. Also ordered new bolt head. Next going to look for a used orxy, relieve some of the action's maxwell so it will work with it and see how far I can take that gun for some casual long range plinking, maybe some prs matches here and there for fun, and some hunting (antelope and elk). Thoughts or tips? Anyway, hello and look forward to learning. [/QUOTE]
