Hey guys,
I have been looking into getting into long range shooting for awhile now and have a few questions about it. To start, the longest shooting I have ever done is about 200 yards(all my property allows) with a rifle. Eventually, I want to be able to shoot 1000 yards, but I know that will take a lot of time, work, and money to do. I am a college student, not poor, but not wealthy by any means. I am wondering what advice you guys would have on a beginner's rifle setup. Is it something that I should save up a long time for and get a rifle and glass that will go to 1000 yards right at the beginning? Or would my time and money be better spent with a decent rifle and glass that I could be putting range time in with earlier and then upgrade when I need something to go farther? Ideally I would like to get a rem 700 sps .308 24", put a new stock on it, DBM, good glass, and bipod but I know there would be cheaper options to get me at the range sooner. What say you ingo?
Also, are there any long range shooting ranges around the indy area?
