Thread: long range newbie update as advice said its not cheap

so santa came early this year and i now have the basic gear to get started, after much debate and advice from guys in the know i now have a rig set up and am doing load development for
so the figures are rounded but this is where im at so far

rifle sako a7 roughtech a7 7mm rm $1750 used 40rnds
rings and rail $400 new
dbt can pus threading $600 new
scope delta titanium 4.5-30 $1800 new
range finder sig bdx $850 new
dies projectiles powder etc $400 new

total $5800

i know its not top of the range but i think i have got a good middle of the road set up for the hunting and gong smacking i want to do, could have saved a few bucks by taking a bit more time and collecting a few good secondhand deals. hope this helps for anyone else thing of making the move


and thanks to the guys who have taken the time to help me out with advice so far
