I will be finishing up school soon and I will likely get a *significant* raise once I get my first job and I want / need a hobby. I am certain I would love to take up long-range shooting.
As a complete and total noob in that arena what advice can y'all give me?
I am leaning toward .308 (start small and go from there). Should I build an AR10 (I have built a few AR15's)? Should I save up and get an M1A? Or should I go with the tried and true bolt gun? What would be the most fun? Is a bolt gun "easier" to master? What about scopes? What is the minimum power i should look at? Variable? Should I zero at 250, 300, 400 yards (one thing I do know is that i will go with an "MOA" scope).
As I said I am total newbie when it comes to anything bigger than 5.56 and over 300 yards, any advice I can get is welcome.
