Trying to get back into long range shooting after a 5 year break due to x3 shoulder injuries. I started building a r700 .308 back in 2014, got maybe 300 rounds down range then tore my shoulder out. Ended up sadly selling it it 2015 after the second shoulder surgery due to recoil at the time but miss the sport!
Have access to 600 yards locally and can get out to 1k on my grandparents land ( Never made it past 600 before injury).
Got the bug to get into it again and pulled the trigger on a Bergara b-14 hmr 6.5 creedmoor, Vortex pst gen 2 5-25-50, PMR rings, and a harris bipod.
I did not want to spend alot getting another r700 setup and wanted to stay under 2k for the setup. Hopefully the recoil will be good, I currently can only go about 10 rounds with my 300wm or a 12ga 3in with high velocity shells. Will also most likely be my new deer gun unless I can get more muscle builtup into my shoulder to continue using the 300wm.
Been a long time Lurker on the hide, and a member of other gun forums for over a decade. Any other local Memphis members?
