[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1095103, member: 4809"] Nearly any caliber can be used to start your education in long range shooting. You don't mention whether or not you reload, but cost and availability of ammo is something to consider. While the 338 WM may not be as sexy as some of the higher velocity 338's, it will get the job done. Providing your rifle can hold under one MOA, my first two purchases would be a good scope that can provide repeatable dial ups and a good rangefinder. LRS is not an inexpensive sport, but you can manage on a budget by buying good used equipment and learning from the mistakes of others. When it comes to good reliable equipment - be it scopes or rangefinders- you will often hear the saying: "Buy once, cry once". Believe it. Cut corners here and you will pay a bigger price later when you find you need to sell and buy something better. [/QUOTE]
