There I said it, it’s out there.
I recently moved to Ohio and found there is a 1 mile range near me and it’s perked my interest. Added to the complication, I want to do it with a .308. The reason, besides ammo costs, is i will mostly be shooting under 800 yards, but want to try and stretch it out everyone once in awhile.
as far as my shooting ability, I have shot iron sights to 500 yards and out to 800 yards with an Acog, both in the Marines with 556. I feel strongly in my ability to be able to go the distance with glass.
The rifle, I don’t have one. I was thinking hard about the Ruger Precision, savage stealth, or starting out with a Remington 700. No glass yet, but I’m looking at Vortex and Nikons new black series, but open to anything under 1k.
I just started thinking about this and the idea is in is infancy. Has anyone shot out to 1 mile? Will I need to start reloading to get a 308 out that far?
