My definition of long distance when i started this project was 700-800 yds but after reading some of the stuff you guys are pulling off i would love to shoot farther. i have the places to do it and with time and the right equipment i know i can pull it off. gosh, i spent forever looking at optics last night after i got the night force suggestion and still cant decide. i wish there were guys around here that shoot long distance like some of you do so i could see how your set ups are. man, i find a scope i want and then is magnification, then this, then that, then mil dot, then freakin varminter or big game reticle. i look at brass of this and that chambering, bullets, then stocks, then do i build one on a this or that receiver, or do i just buy a complete rifle minus optics...crap, i have a lot of rifle, mounts, optics, and stock decisions still yet....and YES its getting to me... can anyone tell..but its fun..THANKS guys for the input so far. it does help
