i'm not really a rifle guy.
i love close up work of archery. BUT!. i recently got reacquainted with the toys in the back of the safe. i have a .257 weatherby magnum that will flat out fling a bullet far and fast. IIRC it will shoot a 115gr bullet 3400fps (i need to pull out all my notes). last time i shot that rifle, i kinda fell off a mountain and dinged the scope. i cleaned the rifle and put it away. pulling it out, i find the scope took a bigger hit than i thought..so i sent it back for a fix. it cost me $90 to upgrade to their single CDS turret.
my rifle could produce cloverleaf 3-shot groups at 100..but i want to explore the long shot. not to the point where i will buy a Nightforce 5.5-20x scope..but just see what i can do with what i own already.
i'm not sure where to start..and what the heck is considered a long shot. 500 yards? how far can i get with my 10x scope anyways? that Nightforce used is $2000!!
