[QUOTE="trebark, post: 989194, member: 19172"] For all or most of the basics, check out this forum: [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/"]The Basics, Starting Out - Long Range Hunting Online Magazine[/URL] The first seven 'stickies' will provide you with a good base of information to improve your shooting technique. When you're ready to buy a rifle, the earlier suggest of getting a 308 is a good one. My cousin has said something I think is true "everyone should learn how to shoot a 308 with 175grain sierra match king bullets going 2700fps." If you can master shooting in the wind with that load, you can do it with ANYTHING! I talk the talk and walk the walk, I started with and recommend a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 308 as your starter rifle.... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-308-1k-rifle-evolution-continues-43510/[/URL] Be sure to read the thread all the way to the end and you will see this 'semi-custom' rifle turn into a full-blown custom 260. And as mentioned earlier, get ready for the $$$ to pour out of your wallet! Welcome to the addiction. [/QUOTE]
