My first competition center fire rifle was a .308 Krico bolt action that I eventually barreled to a .260 and necked all my Lake City brass down to 6.5mm from .30 cal and all that brass went with the rifle when I sold it. The scope I used was a Leupold 6.5-20 with a Premier dot and was bumped to 18-40 that I shot on about 30x. Silhouette competition is shot off hand and the high power rifle targets are at 200, 300, 365, and 500 meters.

Cowboy Action Shooting has replaced my silhouette competition over the last 15 years, and all my long range shooting is now in side matches with iron sights on single shot rifles or lever guns (mostly 45-70), usually those range from 100 to 300 yards where I shoot. I do have 30-06 dies and still have the .308/.7.62 dies someplace. My interests now besides CAS competition is history, living history, reenacting, and arms collecting. I've got about 17 different military uniforms I can wear that range from 1860 - 1917. Here is link to where I have posted photos of some of them: http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/ind...c,58655.0.html
Speaking of reenacting, I visited a Confederate encampment at Gettysburg and their marksman had an Enfield sniper rifle. He let me hold it and when I quickly raised it to my shoulder, as if for a snap shot, it was like the thing had eyes. it was right on target ( a small bolder about 75 yds away.)
