[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 180679, member: 2011"] Welcome aboard Rick. You said: [SIZE=2]What would you guys recommend be the first 3 or 4 “fixes” to my gun in order to achieve a 500 yard gun? My response would be: Nothing and I'm not joking! She's a 270 WSM, sub MOA. Bullets I'd recommend would be 140s or 150s for the game you mentioned. And these would be stoked up to the maximum accurate load the rifle would shoot. The only part of your system that would need improvement, would be whatever you need to make yourself confident w/500 yd shots. Knowing nothing about your brand of scope, some target knobs would be in order. I don't know if anyone makes such a thing for you scope, maybe Stoney Point??? Next a decent bipod. and some micro bead polystyrene filled bags for the rear rest. Next a book/spiral binder/whatever to keep records of every shot. Lastly click on this link and go to the bottom (Buffalobob's post) and follow the instructions precisely. You may have to find a substitute for the two daughters;) [/SIZE][URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/another-new-dummy-26388/index2.html#post180609[/URL] [SIZE=2] That's all there is to it.
