[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 270520, member: 10654"] lgray88, First, welcome to the site. It seems that you have already started a somewhat conprehensive list of what you need . For a low cost exposure to what you will need, I would recommend one of Shawn Carlock's earlier DVD's . Part of the video goes thru some of the gear needed, and recomendations. Also, shows alittle of how to use ballistic software. Contact Defensive Edge on this site. The video won't cost you much, but could save you money in the long run. Also, do you reload ? My list at present is -Swarski Laser rangefinder -Kestrel 3500 weather meter -Dell Axim PDA w/ Nightforce ballistic software -Nightforce ballistic software for home computer -Nightforce 5.5x22 50mm NXS on longrange caliber of choice -Harris swivel Bipod w/ padlock -Triad Tactical rear bag I do not have a good spotting scope yet. A good chrono would be useful, but you could validate your trajectory without one, just takes more time. There is a wealth of imformation on this site on longrange calibers, good luck going forward.
