    Calibre, Rifle & Scope Sugestions For Longer Range Hunting

    Looking to tap into the fountain of experience and knowledge that you other hunters and shooters have.

    I'm looking to purchase a new rifle and scope setup for open country deer shooting.

    I'm interested to get opinions on what works for other hunters.
    I'm after a light weight rifle in a calibre that you can trust will do the job with one accurate shot at 500m+. As well as suggestions for optics that would back up this longer range shooting.

    Thanks in advance for any advice and opions offered.
