Good evening all,
I am a new member to this site/forum. I have always enjoyed shooting, but have never done any long range.
I first was introduced to shooting as a Canadian Army Cadet at the age of 14. I learned on the FN C1 and earned some distinction in my corps (crossed rifle badge). I could hit pretty much anything out to 150 yards with open sights. I stopped shooting for several years and have come back to it in the last 3-4 years or so (43 now). I love shooting and want to learn the art of long range. I have a remington 7400, which is crap and totally unsuited to this kind of shooting. I will be selling it (as soon as I have the ejection problem fixed) and plan to purchase a bolt action rifle. I would be grateful for any words of wisdom on how best to get started. I have an enormous amount to learn I know, but i think that that's half the fun.
Thanks,
Sean (Surrey, British Columbia)
