I've been wanting a Remington 700 in .308 for the purpose of trying to learn long range precision rifle shooting. Problem is, there aren't that many places in Louisiana where you can even shoot out to 300 yards, let alone 600-1000 (which is what I'd consider "long range"). There's just trees everywhere.
Is it acceptable to just shoot at really, really small targets to make up for the lack of range? I'm considering going for .223 since if I can't make use of the .308's range, why pay $10 a box more for it? (Based on local Wal Mart prices that is...)
It's really pretty annoying that we don't have some more open space out here for that kind of thing. :banghead:
Also thinking about Ruger Mini-14s. I just don't like all the mixed reports of their accuracy.
