That is the thing. I see alot of people get put off at shooting far because they believe they need the most expensive equipment ever made to shoot at distance.
They don't.
All you need is a good perfroming load and trigger time. The high dollar stuff makes life easier, but as long as your scope tracks true and your barrel isn't at a 90 degree angle to your action, then the chances are good that you can make hits on 1-2 MOA targets at distance all day long.
Now to shoot 1/2 MOA at long distance you may need to spend a little coin, but do you know that? Have you shot far with your current set up (directed at everybody)?
Pull them loudenboomers out of the safe, dust them off, stretch the distance on your targets, and go shoot!!!! Make evry shot to the best of your ability, measuer ALL holes in the groups (no called fliers don't count garbage), and enjoy yourself.
Remember, I taught myself with lowest of budget scopes. A $60 tasco varmint... If I can do it then so can you!!
