I've been shooting for a long time but, I just started to get in to long rang shooting. Live in Central NY (think 150 north miles out side the city). I jut found this site and I'm super excited to learn! I don't know anyone in my area who really shoots over 100 yards. So I'm just throwing myself out there. I just put this rifle together. I only have access to a 300 yard range. There is really ZERO options in NY unless you own a farm to shoot over 300 yards, and no one really hunts over 100. To many damn trees! I've been working on technique and style with my $1500 build, before I really jump in to spending. So here is my "Newbie" build.
Savage Axis II precision 308
Vortex Diamondback 6x24 FFP
UTG Recon flex M-lok
Precision Armament knock off break
