Howdy! Figured I'd introduce myself. I'm new-ish to long range shooting. Born and raised in Virginia. Grew up shooting competitively in a fairly serious 4-H team. Kept shooting as a hobby as an adult. Mechanic by trade. Spent some time in the Navy on a big gray floaty thing playing with some pretty cool radio equipment (and doing some shooting). Been out for 9 years. Currently living near the Great Dismal Swamp.
My long range setup consists of: Rem 700 long action with Huber trigger in an XLR Element chassis, Black Hole polygonal 8.5" twist 22" "Rem-age" bull barrel chambered in .30-06 (call me old fashioned) and long-throated to accommodate high BC 220+ grain bullets while maintaining max usable case volume, recoil is tamed by a APA "Fat Bastard" brake, Badger Ordnance 20 MOA base, American Defense one piece mount, and Bushnell ERS 3.5-21x50 scope. When the ammo is right (and I do my part), it is a 1/4 MOA shooter.
Looking forward to learning from the members here, and hope to contribute what little knowledge and experience I have where I can. My goal is to eventually take the .30-06 to a mile.
