Thank you sir! Thank you! I'll check out your post and see where it takes me!

I think for my first build, I'm going to start off lower budget to learn about the processes and all that stuff. I'd say $1500-$2000 tops. Intended purpose will be target shooting. I'll likely use it for hunting as well. But 90% of use will be shooting at paper. I'm looking more of an AR-type...

I would like to build a rifle or two. As I start my researching, I’m wondering what resources you folks use to read up on? I’d hate to *think* I’m buying a great product, only to find out it’s a “Dollar General” quality and not an actual higher quality. I’m eager to learn! Let me know any...

Thanks for all the help folks! I ended up pulling the trigger on a Viper PST Gen2 3-15x44. Going to get it mounted this week and get it sighted in for deer season in a couple weeks! Thanks again everyone!

Has anyone had any experience with a Athlon Midas TAC 6-24×50?

Oddly enough, this is optic is what I'm reading on right now lol. Thanks for the suggestion and information!

Mounting it on a 6.5 Creedmore Savage 110 Tactical. Needs: - Entry level precision and long range shooting (Out to 600-700 yards would be sufficient for a while as I learn) - Deer hunting (100-300 yards typically) I'm more focused on buying something for the precision/long range shooting...

Thank you for the information! I do not currently reload, but foresee myself getting into it once I get into this hobby more and more. I can see myself shooting 3-5 hours a month starting out and as I get more hooked, that will probably increase. I hunt deer currently. Large game would be...

Now that my health issues are under control, I figure it's time for me to continue my research to get into this hobby of precision shooting. I think it will be easier to list what I want to accomplish right now instead of writing a wall of text. Hopefully from there, you fine folks can steer me...

I have not but I will look into it. I'd prefer something with a decent stock of ammo while I'm still fresh into this as it will take me a while to learn reloading and what not. Not crucial, but more of a "that would be nice" thing. The more I read, the more I'm think you are on to something...

I'm not opposed to multiple rifles, but the girlfriend might be! Ha!

I doubt I'd ever shoot game at 1000 yds. As for ammo, we have plenty of places to pick up ammo, most carry a variety of everything. If I have to order online, so be it; I'm not concerned about that. My main concern is not using a round that is scarce. If 6.5 can be ordered online and brass is...

I'm retiring the 3006, so that's not even an option to keep using. My grandfather built it probably 15 years ago. It's heavy as all hell. She's gunna hang on the wall now. As for the 6.5, I'm not opposed to it at all! If it fits my criteria, I'm 100% open to having it as an option. Based on...

I would say 500-600 yards? I'm not sure, I've never gotten a tag yet.

I'm going to building my first build and am trying to decide on what caliber I want to use. Uses are hunting deer with the possibility of moose/elk (if I ever get drawn!) and casual target shooting. I don't plan on shooting matches at this time so I don't care about ensuring I'm within those...

Re: WARNING: Noob questions! After reading through a vast majority of the threads from the link in post #2, I've decided it will be in my best interest to start out with a 22lr as a stepping stone (crawl -> walk -> run). Tomorrow I shall pay a visit to my local gun shop!

Re: WARNING: Noob questions! Thanks for the informative posts. boeger - I'll never end up in Africa, but without a doubt I'll be in the mountains doing some hunting. I see what your saying about the 7mm trying to pluck one out of a herd. As for buying one off the shelf, I was highly...

I warned you, noob questions ahead! I've always wanted to get into long distance shooting, just haven't had the time with school and such. School's over, shooting is starting! I've been tempted to buy a 7mm for deer hunting (eventually moose, elk, bear, etc) and I think if I'm going to be...
