[QUOTE="fluxed, post: 2116493, member: 26125"] I have been long range hunting for over a decade. My first Idaho Mule deer was 817 yards in 1999. It is another world and gaining huge popularity very quickly. Most of my rifles have been built around the rem 700 actions, but I am currently building around a Sako TRG action in 338 Lapua. I hope to have this rifle built by late March. Living in Idaho for several years was nice for long range. My advice to anyone that does not have a military or long range target shooting background would be to take some classes in long range shooting before taking it up. Something that gets your basic form down. Check-weld, bone support vs muscle support and how to melt into the rifle. Surprise trigger break techniques too. I also agree with earlier posters that hunting situations with moving game can quickly go south, so to speak, when paper shooters have had little experience with it. I am blessed to have a huge chunk of land to hunt and there are some limited situations where game is available to shoot past 1000. Although I must admit most shots are under 100. [/QUOTE]
