New to Long Range Shooting

[DLCampbell]

I have been shooting for years but at distances less than 400 yards. I recently purchased a Ruger Precision in a 6.5 Creedmoor. I am waiting on a Vortex FFP scope. My son got me to shooting out to 800 yards when he was home on leave from the military. That was a ton of fun and I have a new hobby. I am also new to reloading as well.

Welcome to the site, I too am fairly new as well. There's a lot of great information on the forums and a multitude of guys who are very knowledgeable and can help new long range shooters like us. You'll love the vortex. I'm on my second and don't regret buying vortex scopes. My first was a FFP Viper PST 4-16 and my second is a Viper PST 6-24-50 SFP. The sfp suits me a lil better because I like the thinner reticle. The ffp wasn't too thick but I feel like I'm more precise on my point of aim with the thinner SFP reticle. Good luck on your journey and enjoy the experience.

Welcome.

Nothing like hitting far targets, just makes you grin every time.
