There are plans to open a long range facility in Il. (it's a big deal if you know Il).
I have been eager to get into longer range shooting 500+.
I have a lot of fun on prairie dog shoots, but past 300yds I am just guessing.
I would like to build a gun that has the potential to reach out to 1,000+
This is not for big game and I do not reload.
Should I start with a standard action, like the 700 Rem?
How do I choose a cal based on the following;
Long distance but no need to bring down big game.
Commercially available ammo/options
Cost/recoil not as much a factor since it would not be a primary gun
If you think about a prairie dog shoot, you start with a .17 or .22 until they get skiddish, then switch to a 5.56. I would like a gun that I can pull out for some really long shots.
