[QUOTE="A04Goat, post: 989844, member: 83686"] Howdy all. Im originally from Central PA and spent a lot of time hunting growing up with my old man. Winchester Model 94 and a 300 savage is what we used most around our parts. Long story short, I moved to IN and never touched a rifle again, I shoot pistols weekly, but rifles have been a thing of the past to me. Im looking to get back into it, there is a 1000yd range not to far from me and i've been considering get another rifle and using that range. I've always had an obsession with shooting distance from the time my father wouldnt let me take a shot a deer that was around 500yds out telling me about drop and wind etc. So here it is 15 years later and i want to hit that target and beyond. So, had a few local options brought up to me, 300 win mag or 308 based etc. Im lucky in the sense that my boss does shoot some distance and shares the same love for firearms that i do, but the technical end, starting out from a blank i figured id do some research. He shoots a Savage .308 deal. Im gonna do some digging to see what the new and best stuff is for max of 1360 and mostly 500-1000 yd shots. Thanks, and this looks like a great forum so far from the short amount of digging i've done. Be easy on me, im ignorant to this stuff as i've been consumed with pistols for a long while. Thank you, Kyle [/QUOTE]
