My experience is as follows:
Shot a 380 Win Rifle Bolt Action from about a distance of 300 yds... 15yrs old in the Boyscouts... After a few times I had no problem hitting the target from 300 yds...
20 TO 12 gauge SG's for clay pidgeon shooting... I kinda suck at that now but i was decent when i was younger. Again Boy scouts...
Shot .22 At a range at a distance of 75 yds no scope... my eyes hurt after that but still didnt have a problem of hitting the target...
I definitely do not understand Windage or Arc Of Man principals at all... I just guestimate how far the bullet will drop from the first bullet shot and then visually take that into account...
I have only used scopes once and that was on that 380 Win...
I love the idea of having a Bolt Action soley for the purpase of long range shooting... Mostly because I don't have to go through that BS of Pistol permit and crap...
So I guess.... You would say I'm an uneducated shooter that is looking to pick off the money shot at distances of 500 and up.
Sucks to live in CT i think its retarded to have to apply for a permit.

Ehhh 45Long Colt and 410 shotgun shell hand guns have been around for a while. Taurus just coined the term the JUDGE. I still prefer my 45acp for self defense. now if i had to fight a shit load of rattle snakes i would rock a judge.

fwiw I really like the H&K .45 Match but the coin you would have to drop on that thing is just unjustifiable...
Like I said before though... I would like to get a long rifle for long range shooting... I can't see purchasing a 308 win purely because of the cost of the rifle and its ammo... But maybe a 30-06 or something that is accurate in excess of 500yds would be nice to have...

That remington 700 is a great rifle and its fairly cheap.
The H&K is a great gun but you can get a similar pistol for much less.
Springfield XD-M is on par in quality accuracy support and far less in price.

thats actually the model I was looking into. I've also heard that it has a boat-load of aftermarket stocks available at an affordable price...

Make sure you lose them all in a boating accident once the ban passes XD
BTW whats a good 9mm hand gun around 400 bucks? Something compact for a concealed carry permit.
