    I'm looking for something like this that's 1/2" or 5/8" thick steel targets (this is 3/8").

    I looked at Bobcat Steel and online they only show 3/8", 4" targets.

    Most would consider this a good problem to have, but it's a problem nonetheless.

    Make it Ring targets. They can cut whatever thickness you'd like. I've probably bought 60-70 targets from them and they're great people. Cheaper if you go pick it up too.

    Bobcat can probably also make you whatever you want. Why not email them and inquire?

    Why would I email them when other companies have it listed online, not a custom piece.

    Why do you need the extra thickness?
    I've seen mixed reviews on 3/8" or 1/2" targets when shooting 308. For the little bit of added cost, why not get 1/2".

    In the country, hopefully.
    I’d second Make it Ring.
    Just north of Frankfort, east of Lafayette, if you’re willing to weld your own and walk around out back and find the pieces that go together it’s way less expensive than their listed prices.
    Great people.
