First post here. Nice forum by the way.
I just purchased my first gun after I've seen on my CCTV of an attempted break-in in my house. The perps were chased away by my dog. Cops did not do anything because according to them, the perps did not take anything.
I bought a TNW-ASR 9mm for HD. And after a few rounds on the range, I realized I want more. Although I still practice with my PCC, I would like to take up long range shooting. My problem is this. I don't know anything about rifles. All I know is that I want to be able to shoot upto 1000 yards accurately. I'm not planning on shooting varmints or games. Just targets. I know it's a long and expensive process, but I have to start from somewhere.
When looking for a setup, what do you consider first, the rifle or the ammo? In order for me to work up to 1000 yards, I need to shoot closer first. I'm thinking of a rifle that can be accurate upto 500 yards. I will start at 50 yards, then 100 up to 500 yards. Anybody can suggest such a rifle and the ammo? I'm not interested with high-tech gadgets, I prefer just a simple rifle and scope. Single load bolt action rifle is what I'm looking for. Ammo should be good for the 500 yard and 1000 yard rifle as well. Reason being, so that I'll get used to recoil. Budget is around $500 for the just the rifle.
