What do you define as long range?
Long range means different things to different people.
For hunters long range might be 500-600 metres.
For target shooters long range generally means 800-1000 yards
For others 1000-1500 yards, for extremists 1 mile plus.
I'm a target shooter, my best two long range rifles are the Barnard Twins.
Attachment 58270
Built around a Barnard P Action 308, 32" True-Flite 1:10 barrel, custom stock, 17 MOA rail, Nightforce Scope.
One rifle is a year older than the other. Can you tell which is newer?
same calibre? nice stocks.
with a sticker still on the scope of the rear rifle i'd guess that one is newer?
Identical specification for both rifles, chambered by same gunsmith in 308.Quote:

The reason is that if one rifle has a malfunction during a competition the other rifle can simply be picked up, dialed in and shot.
The shooter determines the result not the rifle.
500 yards 60.3 score

Tikka T3 action, trueflite barrel chambered in. 284.

Tikka t3 left hand
7mm rem mag
5-20x56 shv scope
dpt suppressor
What suppressor is that @HNTMAD? Does it still feel nicely balanced? I like the idea of having the full length barrel.Quote:

These are my two main rifles, first is Sako 85 finnlight in 270wsm, VX6 3-18x44 b&c illuminated, DPT magnum overbarrel, nice simple rig that works well, accurate, easy to carry, packs a punch out to silly distances.

And second is my latest project Rem 700 action, 26" shillen select match heavy contour fluted chambered in 6.5-284, Ken Henderson carbon fibre stock, Leupold VX3 LR 4.5-14x50, I'm going to have a terminator brake put on it and call it done.
Attachment 58283
300 winmag. Use it at all ranges
Attachment 58285Attachment 58286
It is a 24 inch barrel with an ASE UTRA can, yeah it's not barley balanced.... Well I don't mind, if I bush hunt with this gun I take the cannot and putbin pocket or DaybagQuote:

A right side upside down chart is easier to read when going from carry to set up, and when the rifles on the ground with the bolt topmost the chart is the right way up. At least it is for me.Quote:

Here is my long range rig. A Savage in the mighty 243Win. Happy with shots out to at least 1000m in the right conditions, in which case I'll use the bipod you can see to get about 800m closer.

Yes, the walk is the same in the end anyway.Quote:
