Thread: What to buy for long range

A tikka with a limbsaver recoil pad is fine to shoot. The factory Tikka pad has almost no padding but the limbsaver is awesome. What rifle do you have at the moment? Going to a new rifle just before a trip is not a good idea. A 708, 308 or the like will easily get you to 400-500 yds with the right projectile and scope.
I would put my money into a good scope before I bought a new rifle for long range shooting.

Cant rate limbsavers high enough. have one on my 264 and dont feel a thing could shoot all day and be comfortable. everyones quick to suppress or muzzle brake when a fraction of the cost a limbsaver is all that is needed.
