Get a 20inch suppressed 7saum or something similar with a vx6 on top, kill anything from 10 to 1000m and call it a day. You'll soon get sick of long barreled, loud ass obnoxious bang sticks sticks...

Just use what you've got. Sight a couple of inches high at a hundred, or zero at 200m if you wish. Hold dead on the shoulder out to 250m, or just below top of shoulder at 300m. The vast majority of...
