As the title would suggest im looking to get into precision rifle shooting. My ultimate goal is a 1 mile shot.
Ive only shot to 500 prior to this venture.
The rifles im looking at are the bergara HMR in 300 win mag or 6.5 credmoor, the Ruger precision in the same calibers, or the Sig cross in 6.5 creedmoor.
So far im leaning heavily towards the Bergara. Its lighter than the RPR and doesnt have the issues the Cross does. It also has a more appropriate barrel length for the caliber.
The next issue would be finding somewhere to shoot this rifle and learn these skills. Ideally id like to start with a 1k yard range, and then seek out the larger ranges.
And finally im sure I will need some instruction in order to obtain my goals.
Also as an aside... im interested in competing in prs or "sniper" type competitions.
Any input you guys have into any of the above would be greatly appreciated.
