[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1975859, member: 26077"] One final comment, you do not have to do all your long range practice with your hunting rifle. There is nothing wrong with using a 308 or even 223 to 1200 yards for 90% of your practice. You still learn shooting fundamentals,, wind read and all the rest of the stuff you need to be comfortable with. Then do the last 10% with your hunting rifle to get comfortable with how it behaves out to 1200 yards and to make sure your shooting fundamentals are good for the heavier recoil. I have done that for years. I also shoot thousands of gophers a year with 22RF and 17 HMR, 17 FB off of sticks to hone those skills. All practice is good, it doesn't have to be really expensive.
