    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    No, I shoot at 1000 in the matches with the 168's but that is really testing its limits. When I shoot anything further than that I use 175 SMK's. But yes, all of my shooting is with the 10x Leupold mark 4. Which may explain why I cant hit anything at 1500 lol. 1100 isnt bad with the 10x though...

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    Good points to ponder guys. I was leaning to the Nightforce B.E.A.S.T. or the S&B PMII in a 5-20 or 5-25 for the scope. But i have never had the opportunity to look through one in person, so deciding on which one to go with will be a tough decision. I am located in southern AZ so I have tons of...

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    I have been reading the same things. And since the .338 components are easy to come by where I am (or at least earier than the 375, 408, etc) I was looking at that as the likely choice. But as I have said before, I don have any experience in big bore stuff and was looking for some advise, or...

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    Whit: I was leaning to the .338 for cost/ availability of ammo and reloading supplies. But I am open to anything right now. I am just weighing the available options. Have you shot the 375? why reccomend it over the 408? Just curious.

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    You are absolutely right Hairball. Maybe I wasnt clear enough. But just to be clear, 1 mile is 1760 yards.... not 1750. I have been shooting for about 13 years now with the .308 at 1000 mainly in competitions. I just recently started shooting out to 1500 withing the last year. I used to "push"...

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    2 miles may be a bit optemistic as well lol. I just want to try to get close to it if possible. Realistically, I will likely be shooting at 1.5 miles mostly. I am getting close to 1 mile with the .308, that is why I am looking to get bigger bore stuff. I already have the LRF and spotter scope to...

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    I am currently shooting a Mark 4 tactical 3-10 x 40mm. But I want something better for the new rifle. That is why I made this thread. All of my experience is with .308 at around 1000 yards +- so I dont know much about the bigger bore stuff out there. That is why I am asking for advise on Rifle...

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    GG&G* Typo lol. But as I said in the beginning of this thread, I am looking at streatching out to 2 miles. That is why I was looking at the .338 Lapua.

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    Well I am currently shooting a Tactical Operations X-Ray 51. It is a .308 with Tac-Ops base, GG7G sniper grade steel rings, and a Leupold Mark 4 LRT scope. I am just shooting FGMM 168's for now, but I am currently working up some custom reloads using Lapua brass and 175 SMK's.

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    I just ordered and received a Vectronics PLRF 25C BT. I just got it in the mail last week for my Tactical Operations X-Ray 51. I am currently shootin out to 1100-1500 consistently, but want to get into something with a little more range.

    Extreme Long Range Rifle Options?

    Ok, so I have a question for all of you long range shooters. If money was not an issue, what rifle/scope combo would you choose for shooting past 1 mile? I was thinking a Surgeon .338 Lapua with a Nightforce B.E.A.S.T. scope. But are there any better options out there?
