    Head to range. Shoot 3 rounds. Adjust scope. Go home. Reload 3 rounds. Head to range. Shoot 3 rounds. Adjust scope again. Go home. Reload 3 rounds. Hmm, I guess thats doable.
    You'll spend more in gas than components . How much .308 brass you looking for?

    I'm digging the 168 SMK for target shooting BC. A gold standard I guess.. Although I've been shooting the 147 FMJBT recently too. A bit cheaper to shoot, especially the pulls.

    Exactly. Hence my reasoning of getting stuff first.

    I thought you understood the logic behind that. Save your lunch money, your soda money (soda is bad anyways), your redbox DVD money, ALL OF IT. Until you want that gun as much as you need the next breath of air in your lungs, you don't want it bad enough.

    now drop and give me twenty!
    Don't drink soda, don't pay for tv, don't pay for redbox, don't go see movies, barely pay for internet, am impartial to oxygen so I really don't want my next breath all that badly.

    And here ya go:



    Didn't feel like dropping just to give you $20.

    Yes.

    what distance do you want to shoot?

    a good recommendation is either this because of the sweet reticle (and they are good scopes):

    or this for something similar:

    or if you're looking for something that's pretty bomb proof:

    Ive shot an ipsc steel target out to 1k with the last one and a 16" barrel. I even hit it once or twice!
