Having acquired a .308 "tactical" rifle, scope, etc., I'm interested in subscribing to a magazine(s) which addresses the problems inherent in long-range shooting. Any suggestions of quality publications? (I saw a reference to "Tactical Shooter" on a previous thread, but when I looked up their website I came up with "The Accurate Rifle"; have they changed their name?)

Long-range Shooting Publications

You got the right web sight for two of the best publications in the area of your interest.
There are very good articles on long range shooting by active partitioners popping up on a regular basis in "Precission Shooting" and hopefully the same will be true of the new "Accurate Rifle" as well.
Tactile Shooter did not generate the minimum advertising it takes to barely get out a regular magazine, so it whas been renamed and broadened somewhat (how far I don't know). At least that is my take from what they said themselves. It tended to be dominated by Police and Military sniper and SWAT Team shooting. I think they are going to try and get into more civilian sport shooting in the future.
"Preccion Shooting" tries to keep up with the world of bench rest and precission target shooting, but strays far from the path in several articles in each issue, so don't over look it if you are not into bench rest shooting. Some the most interesting artcles pop up there and have for a long time.
As noted, these magazines tend to be dominated by articles from interesting shooters that you would not see in the regular gunzines: serious people who are experimenting with various types of equipment and shooting situations and summing up their observations for the rest of us. Lots of interesting stuff pops up, long range shooting amongst them on a regular basis.

Herodotus speaks wisely as always.
Accurate Rifle and Precision Shooting are the 2 gun mags I find I read and re-read cover to cover. I have subscriptions to both. They are not the typical "ain't seen a gun that wasn't wonderful" type of mag. Plus they deal mainly with rifles for accuracy, not the wonder-nine of the month or the CCW pistol of the month.
Tactical Shooter was nice, but I found it got repetitive even though I had a subscription and liked it.
I got hooked after I bought a PSS and some target .22's.
