[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 412118, member: 14204"] Welcome to LRH and enjoy! Thank you also for your service to our country. First of, you must define what you consider long range? There are guys here that shoots gophers at 1000 yards ... [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTDypg4OAFA"]YouTube - 1000 gopher.wmv[/URL] ... and others well pass a mile ... others even do it with open sights. :) [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/long-range-sure-59344/[/url] I am no where near most LR hunters and shooters here but I am working hard at it and am willing to put in the time and effort. It doesn't happen over night, so practice, practice, practice. :D Of your choices, since you mention hunting WT, IMHO I'd stick to .308 and .260. I am leaning towards the .308 for it's versatility and choices of bullets. Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
