[QUOTE="trebark, post: 822544, member: 19172"] An AR is a decent platform for longrange shooting though not optimal. To shoot beyond 300 yards you will want to develop a load with 68+ grain bullet. Even with a heavy bullet the wind will be a challenge. I say this from seeing a buddy of mine who has an AWESOME AR that he built specifically for longrange shooting. He shoots the Berger 70grain VLD out of 24" bull barrel. As soon as the wind starts to get switchy it was a struggle to put bullets on target beyond 400. Consider picking up a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 243 or 308. They can be found for less than $500 and are a great platform to start with. [/QUOTE]
