My good buddy has put a range on the back of his farm a couple weeks ago. Nothing big or fancy, just a barn for cover and targets that are slowly getting added and spaced along the path. The last Target is about 700 yards from the barn and the is the max for distance now, unless the bulldozer goes to work.
I am a 6.5 person at heart and have been for many years. Currently have two 6.5 Swedes, both in Tikkas and a Howa Grendel that are my go to Varmint and Deer guns. Have not had the urge to jump on the Creedmore wagon and have no plans for it in my future. So, before someone jumps up and tells me I need a Creedmore......or a Glock....save your breath.
Looking for opinions, ideas or recommendations..........
So, do I play on the range with what I already have, do I look for a new toy or do I "build" something?
If buying or building, we have all decided that our budget would be under $1000 for the entire setup with scope and all other upgrades or parts. That's part of the challenge for everyone that's going to shoot there. Just a group of common people shooting common guns trying to outshoot each other. That's where part of the fun comes in.
If building, just go with a Savage or Remington action? Barrel options?
